Hey, so I tried it out and wanted to see how well it functions as a "stand alone" app - I closed the expo browser tab and loaded the demo from the Expo menu, but it wasn't loading. Does the browser window need to be open by design, or is it a bug?

Also, is there a way for general expo apps to get their own launcher (on Android at least)?

Great work by the way, this is really awesome.

The browser communicates with the device via PubNub to send the code. So it needs to be open when previewing the app. But being able to view it on the phone without the browser is useful. Thanks for the feedback.

If you click save and then re-scan the QR code, that url should work without the webpage open. Let me know if it doesn't work.
