<p>Yes!<p>You can go to the folder ~/Library and then delete what you want.<p>To open the folder from a terminal:
cd ~/Library
open .<p>In the Finder, you can enable "Calculate all sizes" from "View options," which will calculate folder sizes to understand what to clean first.<p>This folder contains data from all apps; sometimes it is cache, sometimes persistent data. You will find all your previous apps taking gigabytes...</p>

<p>I have been working for the past four years exclusively on react-native apps and their backend API, from bootstrap to publishing, adding new features every few months and maintaining the apps.<p>It was a mixed experience. When I migrated to expo two years ago, many problems were solved but not all.<p>But I still encounters bugs and problems with many common dependencies. It is not uncommon to have bugs on certain Android brands, with the community on github reporting the bug but waiting months for it to be fixed.<p>iOS is by far better and more stable than Android.<p>Performance is great on iOS, but less great on Android.<p>Our apps are animation heavy using react-native-reanimated and react-native-skia. Everything went perfect on iOS but we had to remove some animations or simplify them on Android.<p>Upgrading your dependencies every four months will probably break something somewhere : deep links stop working, some animations stop working, or maybe it's another dependency from the JS world.
Sometime the fix is easy, other time an issue with the regression can be found on Github, other time we have no data.<p>Overall I'd say react-native is perfectly servicable and is easy to learn for anyone, which is a big plus.
I'd recommend react-native because it is easy, have a big JS ecosystem, but I am now on the Flutter side.</p>

<p>I like that question!<p>I am thankful for School 42 - Paris. In France, it is the only school which offer a (very) good software engineering training for <i>free</i>. Without that school, I would have made a 3-year study in a public school and my life would not have been nowhere close my today's life.<p>I am thankful for all the people who likes and accept me even if I may be a weird guy.<p>I am thankful for the enterprise where I am working since 2 years, it is a real family.<p>And, I am thankful to all the individuals, organizations, open-source project, initiatives, all around the world which makes a better world to live in.<p>Last but not least, I am thankful to all the people which are hidden, but makes our lives being worth to live in today standards.</p>

<p>Thank you for your help!<p>It actually run only on Node (but could be adapted on browser). Yes an online demo is a good idea!<p>I did used prettier and Xo in the past. I know I'm in the wrong but my eye are so much adapted to that C/C# style that it is way easier for me to read. For a next update/my next open-source projects, I'll think twice about it.<p>I have no doubt Typescript is great. I've tried use it in previous very complex projects pushing JS to limits. It had a few quircks that made it unable to use, same thing for Flow. But same thing here, I'll think about it twice next time!<p>Thanks!</p>
