if car mechanics got calls that were like github issues, they'd often hear “my 2012 VW Golf doesn't turn on” without the car in question ever being dropped off at their garage

5min until the @expo.dev SDK 54 Live Stream 🎥 don't forget to drop by and see what's new (or leave it running in the background as a podcast-replacement 😄) www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBlb...

first weekend in the @expo.dev 54 cycle! We released some fixes ahead of the weekend, that we didn't catch in time 🪩 1. RCTNewArchEnabled (new) wasn't set consistently failing old arch builds on iOS 2. liquid glass effect for child views missing 3. @​expo/metro-runtime not autoinstalled as intended

there's a lot of exciting things going on in SDK 54, but the less exciting changes will hopefully make your upgrade smoother and your everyday DX with dependencies more stable 💕 All kinds of reliability improvements land in SDK 54! small thread about those 🧵

𝝠 Expo SDK 54 is LIVE 🚀 ◆ React Native 0.81 ◆ Precompiled RN for iOS → faster clean builds ◆ iOS 26 Liquid Glass icons + views ◆ Android 16 target, edge-to-edge default ◆ Router v6 native tabs ◆ Updates: header overrides, progress, reload screen ◆ So much more... expo.dev/changelog/sd...

Expo SDK 54's stable release is coming soon! 𝝠 Behind the scenes, changes to autolinking & dependencies make updates easier, and improve support across package managers for workspaces & isolated dependencies 📚 kitten.sh/blog/autolin... (Also please give SDK 54's beta a try ❤️)

Announcing PATCHFORK for TypeScript!!! It's like immer, but optimized for one-liners. It's a silly little overly-clever thing but I actually kinda like it ? github.com/ds300/patchf...

reminder (because this truly annoys me): peer dependency resolution is pretty broken with severe bugs in *every* package manager, except pnpm. Yes, really

really have to finish a new blog post, so instead, I of course took @arrowtype.bsky.social's amazing Recursive font, made some tweaks (rough sketch still due to some import issues), threw it in my blog that hasn't seen new posts for 5yrs and updated its colour scheme priorities ❤️

no matter the app, you really can't escape the inevitable @freezydorito.lol for long 😂😂

Building apps is easier than ever. But shipping? Still brutal. Until now. 🚀 Today we're introducing Expo Launch. The fastest way to get to the app store. ◆ Skip config ◆ Skip certificates ◆ Skip the maze Press “Launch” → land in TestFlight. expo.dev/blog/introdu...

SDK 54 beta is out 🚀 ◆ RN 0.81 + React 19.1 ◆ Precompiled React Native for iOS → ⚡ faster builds ◆ iOS 26 Liquid Glass icons + Expo UI ◆ Android 16 edge-to-edge + predictive back ◆ Updates to EAS Update + Autolinking ◆ Final release w/ Legacy Arch Details in the changelog: expo.dev/changelog/sd...

tried out @tangled.sh and deployed a knot to my home server and it's simply very good™! feels very lean and straightforward to self-host a knot and atproto for git forges feels like the perfect match ❤️

i didn't fully proofread this and didn't do a lot of editing but if anyone in the UK is planning to write to their MP about the Online Safety Act and doesn't have time to draft a long letter, maybe this is a good starting point ❤️ gist.github.com/kitten/29cec...

New @expo.dev example: graphQL server and client with ✨automatic type generation✨! 🧘‍♀️ GraphQL Yoga - server 💜 URQL - client 🎉 gql.tada - type generation ☁️ EAS Hosting - for API & web deployments

I have written a post about JAWSM, my JavaScript to WebAssembly compiler: https://itsallaboutthebit.com/jawsm/. Long story short: I now implemented all of the JS semantics (scopes, prototypal inheritance, async/await, generators) and it passes 25% of Ecma262 spec test suite.

maybe i care less about spending time with and on graphql these days, but i do care about numbers going up 📈

Legend List 1.0 beta is ready! It started as a performance experiment, but it ended up solving a lot of the major issues with lists in React Native. 🎉 ✨ Better perf than FlashList ✨ maintainContentVisiblePosition ✨ Bidirectional infinite lists ✨ Chat UI without inverting

Android's Material You was introduced with Android 12, yet many apps still don't leverage this feature 🤔 Here is a showcase of React Native Bottom Tabs + Material You theming changing based on system appearance ✨

this has been in the work for *months* at @expo.dev 😄 but we're finally launching EAS Hosting! this is the first of many steps for building out Expo web, and also sets the groundwork we need for SSR-support and React server functions & components 🚀 expo.dev/blog/expo-an...

Legend List 0.1 is ready to test! This is an early experiment to see how well it works in real apps so please post issues and/or PRs 🙏. It’s only ~600 lines so it should be easy to understand and tweak. ✨ 100% JS ✨ Fast ✨ Dynamic sizing ✨ Works in both new and old arch

🥳 It's time to party! We have announcements, blog posts, videos, and livestreams scheduled throughout the week. ⚡ And we're getting things started today with an SDK 52 Highlight video: youtu.be/quZv3uKSEfY?...

eventually I'll have to find some time to work more on GraphQLSP (the TS plugin used by gql.tada for LSP integration) currently, we use TS' getDefinitionAtPosition a lot to get to GraphQL document references, but I've got a PR that looks to switch this to a symbol-based implementation instead

(small behind-the-scenes effort) the @expo.dev SDK 52 will shed several old/unused npm deps in future SDKs pre-bundling, more fixes, and external changes will help too But overall, installing SDK 52 will already be faster than installing SDK 51 🚀 (npm graph side-by-side for comparison)

no judgement here right? but opening a UDP socket in Node seems to be a very reliable and portable way to get the preferred & public network route's IP address 😅 seems odd, but also(!) seems to work 🥲

a first for me, but I recently worked on a Linux kernel module for the first time 😅 I've been trying to play more games on Linux rather than Windows, but I was then missing out on my favourite driver: RawAccel 🐁 for configurable mouse acceleration (thread time? 🧵) github.com/AndyFilter/Y...

parsing & printing in @​0no-co/graphql.web is now even speedier (faster than graphql.js) 📄 recap: graphql.web is a spec-compliant lib for GraphQL parsing, printing, and visiting for client-side GraphQL clients and a drop-in replacement. It ships by default with urql

so far this weekend, I’ve been working on updating my colour scheme. picked out 20 colours (16 ansi and 4 UI colours) while my colour blindness was sabotaging me. This was exhausting

please make this stop 🥲 please let this be an easy fix
