Tried @graze.social to track App.js Conf updates and I'm impressed by how intuitive the custom feed setup is! The keyword and post-type filtering work like magic. Perfect for staying on top of conference buzz. Can't wait to see everyone at #appjsconf! 🚀

After testing various AI design tools over the past year—including Figma's latest AI features—Google's Stitch finally blew me away. It generated a clean, modern dashboard from just one initial prompt and five follow-ups. The results are genuinely impressive. 🎨✨

Big shoutout for the livestream on protected routes — seriously cool stuff. I almost missed it while skimming the SDK 53 release notes, but it’s a gem. If you haven’t caught the video yet, definitely give it a watch.

Glad I saw a mention of @bbloniarz.bsky.social's tweet about shared element transitions in @galaxies.dev newsletter. 🪄 💫 🚀

My Mac was running out of space and I discovered this little command. It finds all folders that are larger than 2G and only displays folders that you can access. I found a bunch of old Android SDKs, iOS simulators and a few other large files / folders that could be deleted.

Well...it works but maybe having a light and dark mode favicon is against best practices? Or I'm doing it wrong but I could only figure how to set one in the app.json for Expo to export the favicon.ico for web (to be used with EAS hosting). #reactnative

Wishing I was still hacking from a bayou somewhere in Louisiana instead of an indoor standing desk. Those days last week were fun.

Exception: "Your macOS system limit does not allow enough watchers for Metro, install Watchman instead. Learn more: facebook.github.io/watchman/doc... Error: EMFILE: too many open files, watch" Solution: "rm -rf node_modules" 🤣

This year, for Giving Tuesday, I supported NOLA_CODE, a nonprofit empowering underserved youth in Nola through tech education. It’s a cause I deeply care about, and I’d love for you to join me in making a difference. Even a few dollars can help them reach their goal! nolacode.org/unlock-nolas... 🙏

It's that native feel! But... Restoring scroll is not free or a native feature (at least not afaik on Android). Personally it works for me on Bluesky fwiw. Icons are generally a design choice and same across mobile/web. Seems almost impossible to match the OS theme icons in an app.

Only my second Waymo ride but I can see myself not owning and driving a car ever again...well except for some manual transmission Porsches.

I finally got around to trying out a fresh @expo.dev 52 project with swmansion's Radon IDE. What a delight to see it break right there in the IDE. 🚀✨🚀 Next need to use the preview feature - reminds me of Compose Preview on Android.

When I started building a universal RN app, I didn't expect to go deep on tanstack table and forms (react ts form / react hook form and zod) but tables and forms are at the core of this product. 😊🚀
