You know that @chmal.it is cooking 🧑🍳 with Rozenite. He's in Prague tomorrow doing a deep dive into React Native DevTools. Ever wondered how they actually work? He reverse-engineered the whole thing and built a plugin framework around it.

bittersweet news: today is my last day at Bluesky. 💙 i’m very thankful to the team for letting me learn many new things on the job (including React Native). i’m wishing them luck in the improbable — but inevitable — task of making decentralized social media usable and competitive.
Microfrontends for mobile? It always felt like an R&D project—until now. With Re.Pack & Zephyr Cloud, you can actually deploy them today. On React Universe On Air, I spoke with Zack Chapple & @jbroma.dev about what makes this possible & how it changes mobile dev. 🎧 Listen here: hubs.li/Q034sJZt0

Double checking in 2025, is there an app to cross-post to Bluesky from X? 🤔
Great breakdown of common agentic flows implemented with Vercel AI SDK!
AI Agents' workflows are not that hard to implement. @q1w1n.bsky.social's article proves it and gives you examples to play with!
Love debugging with Cursor: > Ah, now I understand the core issue. The problem is that 😂 Repeat infinitely
Solving issues around Swift’s modular headers in React Native can be challenging 👀 In this article, I’m going over a few solutions that will help you resolve them! Check it out ⬇️ https://buff.ly/3DZmDkY
You know it's a good rewrite coming up! AI space is pretty interesting. Everyone's building AI agents and AI agent frameworks right now. So many different approaches. Everything changes each week. Decided to focus on building some production workflows, hopefully this is the last one 😂
Excited to be back on the React Universe On Air! Memories are back! I love going live, streaming, and being in front of the camera, so hopefully we can get some more content this year!
We're thrilled to welcome back @grabbou.com as host and the return of At Scale series! This time, we're diving deep with Mustafa Ali, Director of Engineering at Shopify, to explore to discuss the ins and outs of their migration to React Native.
Totally unrelated, but I in preparation for eye surgery, I moved from contact lenses to glasses after 6 years and WOW, what a difference. Except for the fish eye effect 🤣
Let's gooo! Looking forward. I will be finally able to catch-up with everything thanks to @lukasz.app forcing me to it 🤣
Kicking off 2025 with a livestream tomorrow! 🎉 I’ll be live with @grabbou.com at 7 PM CET (1 PM EST | 10 AM PST). We’re still figuring out the topic, but whatever it is, it’ll be fun. Come hang out with us! 😄 You can find the live stream here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wjzy...
React Native Fast IO is out there on `npm`, latest version `0.2.0`. If you're building something with WebSockets in the next few weeks, I'd love if you could give it a go! [link in thread]
Really excited about this! Nitro Modules are awesome (more on that in my next post), and that's exactly what we need to build more modules with it!
Soon™
Thanks for having me! It was fun! Super excited by Nitro Modules and the IO library! If you're building something that needs exceptionally fast operations on data, you should check it out!
