I didn’t! That’s one of the reasons I want to go this year.

Is anyone from the React Native world going to React Miami?

I keep struggling with these: - I don’t want Christmas songs in March - Songs I like to play when working are not the same songs I want to play when commuting

Alfonso Curbelo @alfonsocj.com · 08/03/2025

That must be the same issue I have. I’m glad you are solving it!

Alfonso Curbelo @alfonsocj.com · 07/03/2025

I’m more impressed by the implementation than the recommendations 😂. Nice work!

Introducing a new React Native Framework for Enterprise apps. ✨ Built around native build reuse, incremental adoption and self-hosting at your own infra. Because the best build is no build. Hop on the wait list ⬇️

Posting in 🦋 as well 🙂 I’m looking for people in the React Native DevX world that want to share ideas on how they have improved the DevX at mid/large companies. It could be from caching native builds to using AI to suggest commits that introduce regressions. I’m happy to meet (virtual) and chat!

After years of frontend mobile work, (temporarily) touching go services, aws resources and networks is such a humbling experience. I’m glad Cursor exists.

Ever wondered what happens during an Expo pre-build? 🪄Gabriela from Theodo breaks it down for us here.

Ever stared at your terminal running expo prebuild and thought 'what sorcery is this?' 🤔 Been there!

As a kid I was very frustrated when I first tried Xcode and couldn’t do anything except adding UIKit components that I didn’t know how to connect. It wasn’t until I tried React Native that I started playing with Obj-C again to connect native modules.

Alfonso Curbelo @alfonsocj.com · 23/11/2024

👋 I’d love to be part of the list as well! Thanks

Maintaining the habit is important 😄

@kzzzf.bsky.social I just tested Radon v0.0.22 on one of our playgrounds and it’s been great so far! I’m really excited to introduce this one to the rest of the apps.

Alfonso Curbelo @alfonsocj.com · 11/11/2024

Will do! By extensibility I mean that we can add our own tabs or features in the same tool. E.g. Control our experiments, make storage operations, inspect gql operations.

Alfonso Curbelo @alfonsocj.com · 09/11/2024

Great. Thanks! Yeah we also have our own service which brings other benefits as well. We can send custom headers to identify the client and target the ota to certain people. We are considering daily deploys through expo updates, but it’s delicate since any native change would block the release.

Alfonso Curbelo @alfonsocj.com · 08/11/2024

Oh, I see it is enabled in github.com/bluesky-soci.... I would love to know if it’s only for hotfixes!

Alfonso Curbelo @alfonsocj.com · 08/11/2024

Is Bluesky using Expo Updates? If it is, is it exclusively for hotfixes? @hailey.at

👋 I’d like to be able to open images from a post I’m replying to. That, or to be able to minimize the composer and see the original post.

Alfonso Curbelo @alfonsocj.com · 08/11/2024

We have an internal package with many native defaults as an Expo config plugin. This makes it super easy to change defaults for all apps, as well as quickly be able to create playgrounds that resemble prod apps.

Alfonso Curbelo @alfonsocj.com · 08/11/2024

It has been a life changer for us. Especially when maintaining several apps and wanting to align several native dependencies between them.

Today’s attempt at a Rosetta

Alfonso Curbelo @alfonsocj.com · 06/11/2024

Are posts just “posts” in @bsky.app? No clever name for those?

020

Alfonso Curbelo @alfonsocj.com · 06/11/2024

It also happens within the US 😄

Alfonso Curbelo @alfonsocj.com · 06/11/2024

I think we will get there, but both options are very new. Radon is still in alpha and it’s unstable. It’s still not good enough for a production app. RN devtools is missing a few things like network inspector and extensibility. I haven’t tested the other features yet but the tool seems promising.

Alfonso Curbelo @alfonsocj.com · 06/11/2024

A unified and customizable debugging tool that supports breakpoints, profiling, and inspecting network requests.

Alfonso Curbelo @alfonsocj.com · 06/11/2024

I really like how snappy it feels lately. How about an easy way to create the next post (thread) when you are running out of characters in the composer?

Alfonso Curbelo @alfonsocj.com · 06/11/2024

I’m glad I watched it live 😉

I really liked @samuel.bsky.team’s post mozzius.dev/post/3l777nh... about what makes a RN app “feel native”. It inspired me to play with UI components and animations again. Ironically, I work with React Native every day but I haven’t touched a UI component in a very long time.

We've added a Starter Pack for our community just to help all the new 🦋 accounts find the influential React Native handles. We're definitely missing a lot of important people but it's a start: go.bsky.app/LYxHHxu
