Flipper for React Native with Zain Sajjad & Shannon Hicks
In this episode we asked Zain Sajjad (@zsajjad93) to show us Flipper, a React Native debugging tool that couldn’t possibly be bad because its logo is a dolphin. Shannon Hicks (@iotashan) joined us because he’s good at React Native, and having a person good at React Native is just good life advice in general.
