My next video is coming along really well. I have a lot of simple but really fun techniques with Skia shaders and SDF functions. Really looking forward to releasing this!

The useAnimatedProps hook from Reanimated really shines when used with liquid glass components 👀

🚨Cool announcement guys! I’ve been seeing a lot of List Profiling lately which made me realize we weren’t documenting one of the FlashList tools we use at @ShopifyEng for profiling lists. 🧵

All games with the “retro pixel” look should have CRT shaders built in to settings. The CRT effect makes pixel art look a lot nicer and how it was probably intended to look in the 90s when we played those games.

After being a developer working on a design system for two years, I don’t know that I’d want to start developing a new app without establishing that first. It makes developing features so much faster. It’s frustrating that a lot of startups rush past this step.

That’s a really cool way to do it! When Claude works it’s like coding in the year 3025, but unless you give it the right guardrails, all bets are off.

Claude Code is crazy good when you can give it examples of other similar code. I feel like most of my recent productivity gains have come from pointing it at code I know works. If I leave things open ended, it goes off the rails and makes a mess

Took a long break from Smash but started playing again with some friends at work. I got back into Elite Smash. Apparently I’ve still got it 😅

You might be sleeping on some of the most powerful features in the Expo SDK. 🛠️ Remote build cache 🎙️ Expo Speech 💾 SQLite async storage 🧭 Router UI 🔄 Background tasks 🧠 API routes (yes, full stack in Expo) Check out the post (with video) from @codewithbeto.dev: expo.dev/blog/5-expo-...

expo.dev

5 Expo SDK features you should be using (but might not be)

Unlock hidden gems in the Expo SDK. These 6 features boost performance, save time, and turn your React Native app into a full-stack powerhouse.

I am excited for when we have a more straightforward way to work with WebGPU and @threejs.org in @react.dev native. I always wanted to build a clone of the two stick shooter from Nier Automata as a learning project 🤔

Have been working with Remotion for my next YouTube video. It’s been a really cool experiance so far. When it first came out I got really bogged down in how cumbersome it can be to move things frame by frame. Claude Code has been immensely helpful in this process

📢 Just scheduled a special edition of my newsletter: Why I’m Bullish on React Native Apple’s new liquid design is shaking up the UI world and React Native apps are already benefiting just by compiling with the latest Xcode. I break down what’s changing, what’s coming (like native tabs!), and why...

If you haven’t played it in awhile I recommend the Crisis Core remaster next. It’s not a long game, maybe 20 hours, but I really enjoyed it

The characters look almost like they do in the Pre-Rendered scenes of Crisis core. It’s interesting how that era of FF7 had its own art style.

The MCPs for the iOS Simulators are OK but they seem to miss tap targets a lot. I want to do a deeper dive into these and see if I can find a way to do automated testing reliably through prompts 🤔

I like making YouTube videos for the same reason. Actually I find videos easier. That being said, I should probably blog more so that the information can be fed to LLMs and provide more benefit to the RN developer community 🤔
