But this vibe is definitely there. I for once have started to move away from Expo and towards the Community CLI once again. Feels fresher.

It’s not as bad as I might sound. And Vercel and Expo also do enable a lot more than this issue I am feeling. They do give back to the community.

Agree! It is small. And I do see a lot of development happening all around. Tamagui and the team’s efforts and CallStack’s efforts are all world-class.
Bu Vercel vibes, I meant the lock-in. There’s this pattern where everything in web has recently revolved around Vercel a lot. Same for Expo.

i believe the available library of packages, especially concerning design & components, lacks the finesse that we usually see with the React (web) ecosystem. It’s hard to make choices with RN. @expo.dev is doing wonders for the community, but one does start getting @vercel.com vibes with it soon.

currently facing a lot of trouble with Tamagui and the Bento UI bundle that comes with it.
using Bento feels like it was made by some kid. it's extremely frsutrating with a ton of TypeScript errors in the code.

alright, I now have a neat implementation of @supabase.com integration, especially for auth set-up and ready.
i also have my state management for auth ready with XState. I have a neat machine, a handful of states that I envisioned my app to be in and all of it is well integrated with Supabase.

for #auth, I am using a concept that I recently started adopting — #state #machines
I am using #XState along with @supabase.com.
I self-host an instance of Supabase on my machine w/ @docker.com and that's what I will use.

okay, first and foremost, I am currently setting up #auth for my new app. what am I #building, you may wonder? 🤔
i am trying to build on an old #idea that I once tried to execute — zupit

the pain was real.
the config was gnarly.
but the developer experience now?
smooooooth.
would I recommend #monorepos? Yes — but only if you’re very patient and love debugging as much as building.

but here’s the thing — after days of debugging, alignment, and some good old trial-and-error, it finally works.
- shared code is DRY and type-safe
- dev environments are stable
- hot reload works in both web and native
- build and deploy pipelines are clean

most annoying bit?
trying to make one change in a shared package without breaking 3 others.
the chain reactions were wild.
fix a TS error in ui/, only to watch @expo.dev throw a tantrum and @nextjs.org having issues with rendering.

what sounded like a modular dream quickly turned into:
- Metro crying over symlinked packages
- TS path aliases breaking across environments
- Multiple build targets with different expectations
- Hono & SST both wanting to own tsconfig
- Tamagui needing careful Babel config across mobile & web

I mean mobile UX loses to desktop UX, at least for me.
my recent experiences working with Canva on mobile and desktop showed me that how much ever did the Canva team tried, it’s always going to be hard to “create” on a smaller screen.
same goes for Excel/Sheets!

yes, I currently have my notes full of concepts and ideas that I would like to write about.
yes, i do use AI to help me write better, won’t hide that!

that’s inspiring to hear! i will continue writing. sometimes it might just be some random thoughts off the top of my head, sometimes it will be something solid!
that last line is something that makes so much sense! 🫡🙌🏻

Happens a lot! There are some wild SQL flavours found on different tools and it becomes essential to learn about them to work with the tool well.

that’s awesome! back when the pandemic hit, the Indian gov setup vaccination centres across the country. people just had to register, book an appointment, walk-in, get the vax & that’s it. the app would issue a vaxxed cert w/ a QR that would be valid across the country for travel/healthcare etc.

I am loving how #goalfortheweek is making me accountable towards not only myself, but the general, much wider, #buildinpublic community. It’s a lot of fun!
