Solito or other crossplatform navigation?

I see that Solito is not included. What is your thinking around including Solito or other tools for unifying navigation across native and web?

This was my reasoning for making this template: https://twitter.com/jullerino/status/1565733252492627968?s=20&t=KGUdrDtuFp84o34ImRgP4g

TLDR; I think Solito, create-kaol-app, zART are all a bit overcomplicated for demonstrating how the t3-stack plays in mobile development. I am however intrigued by the new Expo Router stuff coming so maybe we'll include that 🤔

Thanks. zART was even less batteries included than this, iirc. I didn't know about create-kaol-app, it looks nice.

FYI, if you don't go the Expo Router path, you could use react-native-url-router which aligns with React Router even for native.

I don't agree with this. zART includes testing, theming and a few other things. Just take a look at the Expo app's dependency list. It hoisted everything so (at least I) had a hard time tracking what was going on, what was used where, "how is that package using that when it's not a dependency" etc.

kaol-app is a lot of batteries included including Solito.

I am not saying any of these are bad in any way, I am just saying the main goal of this was to aim for a minimal setup of trpc + next + expo.
