It was fun to talk to y'all! 🥳

🖤❤️ RNR 334 ❤️🖤 This week: React Native on desktop? @saadnajmi.bsky.social from Microsoft joins our hosts to talk about bringing React Native to macOS! They talk about what works, what doesn’t, and what’s next. Don't miss it! infinite.red/react-native...

Giving away two wonderful books by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social - The Third Bear and Hummingbird Salamander! To win, repost + comment your favorite animal. I'll pick someone next Friday 6/13 - shipping paid & open to intl. **You do not have to follow me**

We do so much brown field development internally (think React Native task panes / floating windows in Microsoft Office) that I forget how performant a blank app can be 😅, thanks @jayz.us for trying it out!

I made an app that opens faster than any Mac app I've seen, loading a 5500 line markdown file instantly. It's not Swift. Not Rust. Not C++. It's JavaScript! react-native-macos is INSANELY fast 🤯 And 10% the size of an Electron app! I had no idea RN on desktop is this good.

Stephen Hawking was born #OTD in 1942. He developed theorems with Penrose that determine when general relativity produces singularities, established classical laws of black hole mechanics, and hypothesized that quantum effects cause black holes to radiate. 🧪 ⚛️ 🔭 Image: Santi Visalli/Getty

I start work again tomorrow and I already have two presentations + a rush bug fix to get in this week, welcome 2025 🫣 2+ weeks of vacation was pretty nice though 😄

🧑‍🎄 Node.js now supports TypeScript by default 🤯 🎄

Can it be done in React Native, yes! At WWDC 2024, Apple added a new API for creating custom UI effects using Metal shaders. I wanted to see if you could do the same with React Native. With react-native-skia, you can! Left is the Apple demo, right is skia on react-native-macos 😃

Success! For Christmas this year, I got React Native Skia working on macOS! Along the way I learned quite a bit about Shaders, WebGPU, and just how extensively Skia is used. It's such an interesting space! I'm glad there are still new things to learn in UI dev 😎

Not flashy, but I'm excited about this PR from @tommy.nguyen.works in React Native macOS that moves our CI publish pipelines to use @nx.dev ! Prior to this, we had a mix of spaghetti and inherited code from React Native Core that didn't scale as we did more releases github.com/microsoft/re...

React Native folks: @coolsoftware.dev made an excellent list of RN bluesky people to follow. Just click "Follow All" at the top, or go through and follow everyone (except @frankcalise.bsky.social, that seems risky to me) bsky.app/starter-pack...

Starting to look at what it would take to get react-native-skia on macOS. The first step is moving the example app to react-native-test-app. This already has the benefit of combining the previously separate paper and fabric example apps. github.com/Shopify/reac...

feat: move test app to react-native-test-app by Saadnajmi · Pull Request #2746 · Shopify/react-native-skia

TODO: Test iOS Paper Test iOS Fabric Test Android Paper Test Android Fabric Summary I am interested in (eventually) adding macOS support to react-native-skia. Generally the first step to this...

I wonder how easy it would be to port this app to React Native macOS 🤔

I have not been on here much since I’m mostly on Twitter / Threads. But I thought I’d give it another go :)

@studioanisa.bsky.social Hello! Welcome to Bluesky~

I put up my App.JS Conf menubar app demo on Github, with lots of disclaimers that this was meant to be a demo and the code could be a lot better! But feel free to take a look 😃 https://github.com/Saadnajmi/appjs-demo-2023
