Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Expo's new Shared Objects feature improves the Expo Modules API, addressing performance issues and enabling more object-oriented API design. Previously, operations like image manipulation were inefficient due to repeated disk writes. Shared Objects eliminate this by linking JavaScript and native objects, allowing data manipulation without repeated memory copies.
