You'll find an English translation of the campaign at the end of the GoFundMe page. I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I’ve known this family for decades. Seeing them go through this, with so many things breaking at once, is heartbreaking. This fundraiser isn’t about pity. It’s about giving them breathing room so Lourensa can focus on surviving and Nima can be there for his kids. Thank you to everyone. Fuck Cancer!

Oh super nice. That’s even better. Gonna file a PR, ty Kudo

I tried modifying the podspec for two hours, the only thing that worked was the Podfile

Zeego fails to compile for you with useFrameworks: static? I got you! gist.github.com/hirbod/4b0b0... @kudochien.dev maybe you know a better solution for this, I think you know best whats up. Not happy with this dangerousMod but at least it unblocks plenty people

Thanks your work on that @kudochien.dev. Truly amazing

But I think I get why this isn’t accessible for screen readers. I’m definitely lacking the skill and knowledge when it comes to this whole topic; the do’s and don’ts.

120

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 30/04/2025

Our FeedItem is actually a GestureDetector (handles play/pause and double-tap to like), and the RectButtons are placed on top of it—not even nested in the tree. We do have nested pressables, eg in lists where the whole item opens a sheet, but the avatar inside navigates to the profile instead.

120

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 30/04/2025

I get that, but I believe the „how“ can be optimized

100

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 29/04/2025

I honestly never even thought about accessibility. We even use the NativeView and NativeText components directly to optimize performance by skipping all of that. We iterate so fast in startups, there’s no room for it until we have PMF.

230

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 29/04/2025

Generally speaking, I don’t like these automated and expensive lookups. I’d rather have a dev-only warning that forces users to handle accessibility manually. And lookups should bail out fast and have some railguards.

240

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 29/04/2025

From 300MB to 7GB plus a full hang is even worse. Yeah, it’s not a leak, but an infinite traversal bug. In some very rare and not reliably reproducible cases, nested touchables can trigger this bug and completely freeze the app in our case. Adding a fallback `accessibilityLabel` did the trick.

220

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 29/04/2025

Yes. Since 2.1.7 it’s amazing and fast

160

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 29/04/2025

I had a lot of moments reconsidering life choices or just raising alpacas instead of migrating, but it’s finally done. New architecture, @expo.dev SDK 53 (RN 0.79.1), and the fastest React Native app we’ve ever built (and I’ve ever seen!). Thanks to all contributors. Amazing achievement.

This is just insane madness :D.. I really need a break from React Native :D

040

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 29/04/2025

Imagine, that change made our app the snappiest and fastest react native app I've ever seen. The fucking FPS counter is finally going up, not down when tapping a button. :D

370

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 29/04/2025

I added a simple "fuck off" as Label and the rare bug is gone. This is just madness and a really bad default by RNGH and React Native. 2/4

240

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 29/04/2025

I was exploring a hard to debug memory leak in react native for at least 6 hours today. Turns out that when you don't add accessibilityLabel to RectButton or Pressable, it will fucking traverse all children to find a Text node or View with accessibilityLabel. This is insane. 1/4

It looks wrong, I agree. > git reset --hard HEAD~1

He said „also example ist best of all worlds“ which I translated to „holy grail“. I am not spreading misinformation

We are on new arch now and I tell you, it’s lot fun 😩. Many many edge cases but we’re close

I try to make a short trip to London while he is there (or vice versa). Maybe coming with family for a weekend

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 18/02/2025

Hey @samuel.bsky.team and @danabra.mov and @tazsingh.com and @mojavad.bsky.social. @peterp.bsky.social is in London for a few weeks. Super smart and humble guy. He also worked with @hailey.at on new arch for Bluesky. Y’all should definitely meet! Lots of synergy!

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 17/02/2025

Oh Marc provided a fix. I was curious to get some numbers. Our App bundle is too small, the win was very marginal (~2%). 4% for you. Why not.

130

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 04/02/2025

We changed our code to use the exported `NativeText` instead of calling `createElement("RCTText")`, and that seems to have fixed the problem.

020

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 04/02/2025

We're trying to create a repro. We have one reliably in our project, but when we tried to make it a minimal repro, it stopped happening. We need to narrow it down and will get back to you once we have a reproducer.

This is the full error: wrapperError [Error: There was an error during concurrent rendering but React was able to recover by instead synchronously rendering the entire root.] [Invariant Violation: View config getter callback for component `RCTText` must be a function (received `undefined`).]

120

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 04/02/2025

This breaks react-native-keyboard-controller with Fabric only.

120

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 04/02/2025

Does any @react.dev know why const Text = forwardRef((props, ref) => { return createElement('RCTText', { ...props, ref }) }) as ComponentType<TextProps> is causing There was an error during concurrent rendering but React was able to recover by instead synchronously rendering the entire root.]

The 5th edition of our React Native & @expo.dev- focused conf is coming closer and we're now accepting talks proposals! 🚨 If you have an interesting perspective on RN hot topics or you've come up with a solution for a common pain point & want to share your insights -> apply at appjs.co

When you say applications, do you mean desktop apps or web apps? If it’s the latter, I believe RN will play a big role here. Universal apps are definitely the future, and PWAs suck. React Native is the best bet (in my opinion).

220

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 25/01/2025

RSD will definitely help unify the API, but the underlying primitives will still be different.

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 25/01/2025

Was pretty much equal.

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 25/01/2025

Am I taking it too far with @swmansion.com CSS animations? It’s so fun. I am definitely pushing the limits with this example. I love REA v4. Such an amazing beta release. Mark my words: pretty sure this example will run at 60fps soon! Gist: gist.github.com/hirbod/48e45...

It’s okayish imho. I’m pretty hooked with Severance

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 25/01/2025

Its pretty amazing. Sync measurements with Fabric are also superb!

010

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 25/01/2025

Runs on @expo.dev custom dev client and @swmansion.com Reanimated v4 CSS Animations. Was 5 min initial work and a few minutes to understand sync measurement with Fabric :D If you want to play with it: gist.github.com/hirbod/dc161... The future is React Native.

What are you talking? Look at the second post in the thread. I posted many stages

Lost my dad in July, now my puppy. My condolences with you

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 23/01/2025

When your pup stops eating, you know it’s time. He was barely walking, vomiting often, and hardly touching any food (he also made strange noises from his throat). We tried medication for a couple of months, but eventually, we decided to end his suffering.

Hirbod @hirbod.dev · 23/01/2025

Also my condolences to you 🙏. I lost my dad at that time, now my second best buddy!
