🚨 Released a new Tutorial Video this morning!! How to create "Liquid" bottom tab navigation using @expo.dev router and React Native Skia 🔥. I hope you'll enjoy learning about SDF Shaders and Headless @expo.dev router tabs! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJA4...

My next video is coming along really well. I have a lot of simple but really fun techniques with Skia shaders and SDF functions. Really looking forward to releasing this!

Lately I’ve been using a custom Babel plugin to enable Liquid Glass in Demos, following the .liquid.tsx file convention A quick 🧵

I miss music videos being mainstream. They were so fun!

Finally back in Fujin after taking a break from ranked when Season 2 started 😅 #tekken #tekken8

The useAnimatedProps hook from Reanimated really shines when used with liquid glass components 👀

🚨Cool announcement guys! I’ve been seeing a lot of List Profiling lately which made me realize we weren’t documenting one of the FlashList tools we use at @ShopifyEng for profiling lists. 🧵

Sidestepping is siiiiick #TEKKEN8 #TEKKEN

Low key one of my favourite React Native Skia Animations I've ever made

All games with the “retro pixel” look should have CRT shaders built in to settings. The CRT effect makes pixel art look a lot nicer and how it was probably intended to look in the 90s when we played those games.

🚨 New Tutorial this morning! How to create an Audio Visualizer using @expo.dev and react-native-audio-api from @swmansion.com Check it out here! youtu.be/gmW8KeMKXok?...

Ok the new MacOS Video lock screens are so cool

I wish they had a setting in fighting games to turn off mirror matches 😅

After being a developer working on a design system for two years, I don’t know that I’d want to start developing a new app without establishing that first. It makes developing features so much faster. It’s frustrating that a lot of startups rush past this step.

I love this game #tekken8

Claude Code is crazy good when you can give it examples of other similar code. I feel like most of my recent productivity gains have come from pointing it at code I know works. If I leave things open ended, it goes off the rails and makes a mess

Took a long break from Smash but started playing again with some friends at work. I got back into Elite Smash. Apparently I’ve still got it 😅

You might be sleeping on some of the most powerful features in the Expo SDK. 🛠️ Remote build cache 🎙️ Expo Speech 💾 SQLite async storage 🧭 Router UI 🔄 Background tasks 🧠 API routes (yes, full stack in Expo) Check out the post (with video) from @codewithbeto.dev: expo.dev/blog/5-expo-...

Light mode for @bsky.app is clutch

GitHub Contributions with React Native Reanimated. Available on demos.reactiive.io ✨

I am excited for when we have a more straightforward way to work with WebGPU and @threejs.org in @react.dev native. I always wanted to build a clone of the two stick shooter from Nier Automata as a learning project 🤔

Have been working with Remotion for my next YouTube video. It’s been a really cool experiance so far. When it first came out I got really bogged down in how cumbersome it can be to move things frame by frame. Claude Code has been immensely helpful in this process

Thanks @expo.dev for letting me publish this fun article 🙂

📢 Just scheduled a special edition of my newsletter: Why I’m Bullish on React Native Apple’s new liquid design is shaking up the UI world and React Native apps are already benefiting just by compiling with the latest Xcode. I break down what’s changing, what’s coming (like native tabs!), and why...

My next video will be about how to make Audio Visualizers using the @swmansion.com Sound API and Skia

The MCPs for the iOS Simulators are OK but they seem to miss tap targets a lot. I want to do a deeper dive into these and see if I can find a way to do automated testing reliably through prompts 🤔

🚨 New Video alert!!! This video is about how to make game style 2D physics using matter.js and React Native Skia. I was excited to make this, hope you enjoy 🙂 The Video - youtu.be/fxxaOu6pLnU?...

I think this should be ready for Monday 👀

Swing Plane work is paying off 👀

Ok Summit talk is done, time to lock in for the MatterJS Physics video...

Did my first ever in-person Skia talk at Shopify Summit this weekend

Lili’s evasiveness is actually useful again in season 2 😅 #tekken8 #ps5

This Pokémon trading app was a cool @expo.dev project with BLE that I built a couple years ago. It’s fun to look back on these sometimes 🙂

Alright I think I finally have a cool example for MatterJS “game” physics and Skia. I have a busy next couple of weeks, once I am free again I am going to get to work on this 🤔

Part 2 of my intro to motion graphics in Blender is up! Learn the basics of #animation using nodes and some cool tricks like enter/exit transitions #b3d youtu.be/y4FQRNDC_m0

Rotations with collisions are working 😍

Ok MatterJS is cool. I think I am going to take a deep dive on this 🤔

Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you don’t know about. Attack them. Now they’re fighting two battles

Some late night coding 🧑‍💻. Very cool how MatterJS works so well with React Native Skia. This was a lot of fun!!! Maybe I’ll make a video on how to integrate these two sometime soon! @wcandillon.bsky.social we need a Skia page on here so we have a place to tag with fun demos on BlueSky 🙂

The Toronto Maple Leafs have a chance to make it to round 3 of the playoffs. What a time to be alive 🤯

Hey friends! My colleague @makeitaccessible.bsky.social recently did an important talk on Accessibility in RN with AI that is worth a listen. Check it out here: youtu.be/oAby35Go_Zg?...

I made this loader a long time ago with Skia. It’s still quite fun, I wish I had a home for it.

Here’s how I handle keyboard avoidance in React Native 👇 The keyboard covering your inputs is one of the most annoying UX issues on mobile. In this video, I show how I use react-native-keyboard-controller with reanimated to smoothly avoid this problem 👨‍💻 source code: github.com/betomoedano/...

Thanks @wcandillon.bsky.social for giving me the opportunity to update the gesture example in the “can it be done” repo with simultaneous transformations! These Instagram / Social media features are so fun to make with Skia! github.com/wcandillon/c...

Tuple is amazing!

The first five videos in the @expo.dev Router Tutorial series are out now! 💜 youtube.com/playlist?lis...
