🎉 I'm incredibly proud to announce we just launched react-select v2! It represents my take on how to build powerful @reactjs components that "just work" out of the box, while being extremely customisable. Thanks to everyone who contributed! 🌏

It happened! Welcome to the world, precious little girl. She’s a calm and beautiful little soul, and her mum and I are smitten. Now looking forward to going home this weekend and introducing her to her big sister ❤️

Just released react-select v5, now completely written in TypeScript 🎉 I should probably buy some carbon offset credits for how much CI is about to be run around the world when greenkeeper & dependabot realise what I've done...

Aww that is super cute! There’s a custom like animation for the #AppleEvent (like this tweet to see it) Wonder what that took to make happen... much prefer this to ads in my timeline, as far as revenue ideas go for social networks ❤️

Why is it 3:30am and I'm stewing about someone calling me "highly dishonest" and "obnoxious" on a react-select issue. Like, I'm just trying to be nice, help people, and give my work away for free. FFS 😔

Sometimes people on the internet suck. I'm here triaging react-select issues after the family has gone to sleep, and find one with a comment "I recommend people coming to this package to not use it, ...complaints... Do not star this repository, thx." Fuck off, thx.

🤩 wow, react-select just hit over 10,000 stars! 🤔 seems like a really good time to re-write it from the ground up! (sounds like I'm joking, but I'm actually totally serious, and really excited about it. more information coming as soon as I can get a preview out)

Just over four years ago we met this delightful little girl named Grace, and very very soon we’re going to meet her baby sister! Can’t wait 😊

Working on some back-end code, and I really find myself wanting something like React Context but for Node.js
