We’re launching Typeconf Storage alpha! What is it? With Typeconf you can define configuration in Typescript which will be compiled to plain JSON. You could the generated file in your app, but it would mean that you have to redeploy it on every change, which is slow. 🧵

I’m getting more amazed by AI code generation startups! rork.app generates both web AND mobile apps right in the browser. So you can preview and iterate on the mobile app without having to interact the emulator!

Just released a new version of Typeconf, simplifying even more stuff. Why create a separate config project if you already have one for app? Changing habits is hard and unnecessary, so the new Typeconf won’t make you do it!

My boyfriend (not eng) said that colors on Typeconf landing page are not good. I've asked him to update it, showed him Cursor and he changed that section without any help! frontend is cooked, I'm next...
