(No this is not parody.)

Wild that the Windows 11 Starmenu is made with React Native and it just eats your CPU and battery away.

Seriously, what’s going on with Microsoft? The latest benchmarks vs SteamOS also revealed that performance-wise it’s just bloatware.

If that’s the quality they deliver, I'm not surprised that they think that laying off people because of AI is a good idea.

Working on a new Loops app build after updating RN from 0.74.5 to 0.79.2 (hello new arch )

I've also rewritten the main feed logic to better handle various screen sizes, no more broken feeds on Android

Stay tuned!

One last win to share in closing this 2023, yet again about #reactnative and in particular about some of the invisible #opensource work that you folks most likely didn't notice

If you go on the React Native repo right now, you'll see that the number of open issue < 1000:

So, I'm on holiday and #CodingOnATrain on a side project, which I'm hoping to make as a PWA.

I'd heard that #Javascript was a dependency nightmare, but I was not ready to be told by yarn, on initialising a blank #ReactNative app, that it had downloaded and installed 577 packages.

577 packages? How the hell can anything with that many dependencies call itself stable, secure and maintainable, let alone debuggable?!

Seriously reconsidering how I want to do this.

Heya! This is the official account of #RVMob, a #foss #revolt client for #android written in #reactnative.

I (@rexo@is.horse) will be posting RVMob-related updates and questions here, and will try to provide support (although for the quickest response, I'd recommend joining RVMob's support server, which can be found in this account's profile).

That's all for now - have a great day! <3
