    i'm playing around with @reactnative new architecture examples using [email protected] and [email protected], and it's pretty cool to see automatic batching with native event handlers in action.

    fyi you can set the social preview image on github repos now so that a large stretched out picture of your face doesn't show up on twitter every time someone shares one of your repos

    initialize a new @expo project in ~1.25s using @bunjavascript and create-expo(-app)! both npm and yarn classic take ~15s, so bun looks like it's about ~12x faster for me in this case.

    hey react-native community, i need some help! we don't have a go-to place to find react-native packages. we've been working on making reactnative.directory that place, and to ensure that the libraries are properly labeled we opted for maintaining a list by hand. 👇

    we just released [email protected] with a bunch of new features and improvements, such as an integrated simulator and emulator/device picker, press shift+i instead of i to show the picker for ios, and shift+a instead of a to show it for android. changelog: github.com/expo/expo-cli/…

    the updated @reactnative new architecture landing page does a fantastic job of articulating the motivations and value proposition, including concrete examples. great work @lunaleaps!

    people often ask for an open source real world React Native app to learn from - @ferrannp made an app called FitHero that fits this perfectly. you might also want to use it to track workouts if you're into that :P github.com/ferrannp/fithe…

    do people in other professions have to deal with incomplete / vague / weird questions as much as developers providing support for other developers? - "hello i have an animal pet in my home, how do i avoid it from dying?" - "hi my money is not enough, how do i make it more?"
