Took inspiration from Solarin Johnson and built a Nintendo 64–style rumble effect for the disabled state of our pressables in our upcoming @expo.dev fantasy football app, @sundayff.app . It has heavy haptic feedback, of course!

I had planned about a day to get a decent drag and drop list working for reordering users' draft queues. I saw react-native-sortables on Reddit and decided to give it a try— had it working flawlessly in like 45 minutes. Absolute joy to use. Awesome lib, thanks @matipl01.bsky.social !

Built-in docs, when possible, apply to mobile too! Following @phamous.dev's advice, we're working to include descriptions and explanations directly in their relevant context throughout @sundayff.app

I'm convinced that after a few rounds of user feedback and polishing, Liquid Glass will be a worthy upgrade to Apple's design system. Last week, I had an exchange with @codewithbeto.dev about how nice the iOS 26 context menu looked compared to some other Liquid Glass components.

Sped up iOS e2e test runs with Maestro by ~4x in the Rainbow app 🔥 The improvement was actually in React Native core. Here’s what was happening, and how it was fixed 🧵

After watching the #WWDC25 sessions on Liquid Glass and the new design system, I'm pretty excited! A lot of attention went into the material, and I'm looking forward to experimenting with it. I'm making a TLDW doc for the team, which I'll share here too😁

Overall, I'm very excited for "Liquid Glass" and to watch how it evolves. I love how vibrant it is—it allows for more colourful designs without being too much. In some examples, I think the refraction is a little too high and the blur a little too low but those are minor details that can be tweaked

Congratulations on the launch! The amount of polish and care is inspiring—an ideal we should strive for!

I've been spending time polishing or *adding delight* to @sundayff.app (wip). Every year it gets easier and easier, thanks to @expo.dev and @swmansion.com reanimated. Here's a fun progress bar we did for the onboarding.

We made it so that it felt as close to the iOS behaviour as possible - we had to find a solution for deep press which doesn't exist on Android, and I think it is pretty seamless!

React Native being 'good enough' for a V1 is the same kind of misconception people had saying Expo was only good for prototypes... All depends on the skill level of the team building it.

Managing Keyboards and ScrollViews doesn't have to be painful! We built Magic Scroll to handle everything for you out of the box with pixel perfect accuracy. Have a look at our demo app to see how (well) it works. Built and fully compatible with @expo.dev github.com/AppAndFlow/r...

There is no better tech to use than React Native and Expo to build on mobile in 2024 and beyond!
