This is my first time seeing Expensify's extensive open source work. Pretty cool and rare. Were they always open source? Anyone understand the strategy here or used the new App?

I know that Expensify is one of the highest-ticket supporters of SQLite, because they (at least at one point, and probably still) have what is probably the world's largest SQLite database powering everything they do.

As a big fan of SQLite myself, I have to admit, this significantly raised their street cred in my eyes.

From casually browsing their GitHub, it seems that only their frontend is open source. I couldn't find the backend anywhere.

I’ve known them through their work on Wish List and Flash List. They’re one of the bigger supporters in work on list rendering in React Native (a vital, devilish, and often overlooked area).
