React Native 0.78 is now available! This release includes React 19, support for Android vector drawables, easier brownfield integration on iOS, and more. reactnative.dev/blog/2025/0...

IIRC this was one of the last things I added to CM on iOS, nice to see it's being used and appreciated :P

Today, we’re deprecating Create React App for new apps, and encouraging existing apps to migrate to a framework. We’re also providing docs for when a framework isn’t a good fit for your project, or you prefer to start by building a framework. react.dev/blog/2025/02...

** It's happening!! ** We managed to convince Google to open source PebbleOS. Took a while, but they just did it today! github.com/google/pebble With that, we're bringing Pebble back! I blogged about it - ericmigi.com/blog/why-wer...

πŸš€ And we're out: reactnative.dev/blog/2025/01... πŸš€

This is amazing! Congrats SWM team!!

I made a Doom source port that runs within a PDF file. PDFs support Javascript, so Emscripten is used to compile Doom to asm.js, which is then run within the PDF engine. Input/output is done by manipulating text input fields. doompdf.pages.dev/doom.pdf github.com/ading2210/do...

Good to see the team branching out!

Oh nice, my Binary Ninja Wrapped 2024 is in!!

The State of React Native 2024 is now open! 🚨🚨🚨 ➑️ stateofreactnative.com We've been running this survey for 3 years & it's become an invaluable resource for learning about React Native's best features and biggest pain points. Share your thoughts and help us shape the whole RN ecosystem!

i can barely believe this but the last RN upgrade brought us something previously unimaginable β€” React Native DevTools that actually work. huge thanks to @motiz88.bsky.social and everyone else on the RN team who made that possible πŸ’œ

React Native 0.77 is stabilising with the second RC out yesterday. Do give it a try, let us know how you get on! github.com/facebook/rea...

Dug up my old iPod recently. These things are awesome, I completely forgot they have mechanical hard drives you can hear and feel as you’re using them

I love the web archive so much. has to be the best thing on the internet.

Hi new web dev followers! Here's the best tweet I've managed in 12 years, just so you know where the ceiling is on this account

Adorable! www.thonk.co.uk/shop/byom/ Build your own modular synth and the PCBs come in this charming binder.

One day I hope I can be half the engineer my rubber duck is πŸ™πŸΎ

The coolest jacket I own.

Yeah, Cabel's talk is great and I recommend watching it. The reason it's great is: 1. Cabel is just being himself 2. he's talking about something he's passionate about 3. he knows what he's talking about. If you have those three things, everything else just falls into place.

A couple of years ago, I started playing with PalmOS development. Code/Syntax/Capabilities were pretty limited obviously, but I was amazed by how little mobile development workflows have changed. look at this thing! IDE + Emulator/Simulator. This stuff is from 20-30 years ago!

I used to do a ton of iOS archeology back in the day. My favourite was looking at old iPhone OS and look at all the crazy stuff they did to ship! >>>

Funny how, a lot of us still keep a presence on x - the everything app, and double post, which in turn makes other people with a presence on both to double reply. not super sustainable πŸ˜…

In retrospect I should have picked this option

lots of folks are using expo go in ways that we don't intend or support, which can lead to frustration for them when a new sdk version is released. we've put a bunch of work into trying to clarify the constraints of go vs dev builds, and will keep doing it. here's another go expo.fyi/expo-go-usage

breakpoints are finally working well in new React Native 0.76 Devtools - this is not a drill

This is where I skeet from btw

Our very own Alex Hunt in @reactnativelondon.co.uk Beyond Mobile discussion panel!

7th place in the @reactnativelondon.co.uk React Native trivia. I’m happy with that :)

This one is wild! Migrating from Swift to React Native using LLM! finally a valid use case for AI πŸ˜‰
