Had a productive morning getting *extremely* basic audio metering working for MP3 and HLS streams on #iOS. Next steps; roll my own fork of rntp.dev so I can use it in #ReactNative

Probably also worth changing automatic model selection to Claude 3.7 and enabling Thinking mode too

Got inspired by @jayz.us playing around with React Native macOS and got NavigationSplitView working as an Expo module; next step is to see if I can hook it up to react-navigation

Apparently not, I thought the same thing

If I had one thing to gripe about react-native-macos, its that the documentation website *still* doesn't read version numbers from Git tags or npm releases. Its not a *huge* deal though.

Day 16: Watchman Not a strictly #ReactNative post, but it typically only comes up when rebuilding native projects. I think the logs speak for themselves:

Got keyboard controls to pass through 👌 Happy Friday the 13th everyone! #ReactNative

I just set this up to try and show off some problems, unfortunately it worked successfully 😎 I did use Microsoft's @rnx-kit/metro-config, so I might be cheating a bit. Previous attempts I'd tried to meld my own cross-platform metro.config.js together, which did not get very far.

Legitimately, I might have *List fatigue 😅 Jokes aside, all the hard work of the authors of the projects above deserve nothing but kudos. I just wish it was an easy-to-solve problem.

Special mentions: Blob and FormData See this recent post bsky.app/profile/emre... for another example of someone stumbling over this.

With all that said, the new React Native DevTools are live in React Native 0.76, and oh boy, are they a treat. A proper DevTools experience has finally arrived (minus the Network Inspector 🙄), and for the first time in a long time, I'm hopeful that the debugging story is stabilizing.

Flipper (sort of) worked, until it too was just as quickly discarded, albeit in favour of a more robust implementation that used Chrome DevTools Protocol. Quick shoutout to Reactotron by @infinite.red, which, while basic (and a bit on the ugly side), *did* work.

Friendship ended with JSC/V8/Flipper, now Chrome DevTools Protocol is my best friend

I took a stab at it, needs some padding to neaten it up though
