Building an AI-first Photos app with Expo and Coreviz SDK

The article describes the development of an AI-first Photos app built with Expo and the Coreviz SDK, emphasizing a seamless user experience similar to native iOS Photos but with the added power of AI features. The app aims to bridge the gap between professional and consumer photo apps by offering intuitive organization and editing tools without overwhelming users. The focus on a native-feeling interface is achieved using React Native and Expo, which allow for cross-platform development while maintaining high performance and aesthetics. A significant challenge was replicating the pinch-to-zoom interaction of iOS Photos, solved by using multiple virtualized grids with cross-fading transitions rather than recalculating layouts, ensuring smooth performance. The solution led to the creation of an open-source component, react-native-zoom-grid, enabling developers to incorporate a similar zoomable grid feature in their applications. The app's design, interactions, and AI capabilities are showcased in the Studio app, available on the App Store.
