New year, new me. With the arrival of 2025, I'm no longer an employee of @swmansion.com. It's been fun and pleasure to be there for almost 10 years, but I need to take a break from putting all my heart and soul into the full-time job ⌛️

Do yourself a favor and do some sports in 2025! Cheers! 🍻

I'm done, for now

I'm in Valencia 🇪🇸 for the next two weeks 🎄 Do I know someone here? Any recommendations?

Has anyone seen this button in any iOS app? It's a SwiftUI-only view called `ContactAccessButton` introduced in iOS 18 (developer.apple.com/documentatio...). I wonder how devs are using it, it has so many requirements and seems to be pretty flaky and unusable 😤

It's unbelievable that after 6 years since Airbnb gave up on React Native, react-native-maps (they originally created it) still uses AIR prefix in the class names. It sounds like no one has taken full responsibility for this package since then. Why?

Happy Friday the 13th 🐈‍⬛

The State of React Native 2024 is now open! 🚨🚨🚨 ➡️ stateofreactnative.com We've been running this survey for 3 years & it's become an invaluable resource for learning about React Native's best features and biggest pain points. Share your thoughts and help us shape the whole RN ecosystem!

🆕 We've introduced a new, simple, powerful way to play videos in apps. It's called expo-video. expo-video is replacing the now out-dated Video component of expo-av, and soon expo-audio will replace the Audio component of expo-av, making it fully deprecated. expo.dev/blog/expo-vi...

This is an interesting detail about the v1 Bluesky mobile app built single-handedly by @pfrazee.com - which was supposed to be a proof of concept only! But became *the* mobile app. Also shows the power of cross-platform: 1 dev 1 codebase 3 platforms (iOS, Android, web) Using Expo!

See you there! 👋
