-- Then Ife, Artur, and Kevin paired for the entire afternoon on resumable uploads in RN, and got it to work inside an upload session, you can now hit Pause & Resume :tada: It does not recover after a crash yet, more on that in `In Progress`. One of the big hurdless addressed during the call was fixing websocket communication between Companion RN, so remote uploads done by Companion now report progress to the mobile app.

 ## In Progress
 
-- As mentioned Resumability in RN doesn't work yet after a crash, and to fix this Ife is trying implement tus fingerprint storing in RN (as LocalStorage isn't available there). He'll first finish support for Node.js https://github.com/tus/tus-js-client/pull/73/files then add [React Native support for tus-js-client](https://github.com/tus/tus-js-client#react-native-support).
-- Artur is working on making our RN example better to look at, showcasing a real progress bars, nice buttons for Pause & Resume, as well as a first iteration on file previews. He'll also be pushing out a release with recent fixes, and give Evgenia's early work smooth landing.
-- Renée is writing tests to accomodate the change for [better progress reporting](https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/pull/1376) and starting on Transloadit Assembly Cancellation.
-- We're looking at a potentially [big problem](https://github.com/tus/tus-js-client/issues/146) when using tus-js-client inside React Native for big files, stay tuned!
-- Evgenia is working on the dashboard, improving how file previews are justified, as well as browser compatibility testing.
