Slack command lets designers trigger their own EAS preview builds
A team at DEV Community built a Slack slash command that lets designers trigger Expo EAS preview builds without engineering help. The command runs a GitHub Action to build a branch and posts the install link. This cuts review-loop time by removing friction points like installation and build identification.

The approach is practical but limited to Expo/React Native workflows; the real insight is that reducing handoff friction matters more than optimizing build speed.
