I gave a talk on modern React patterns, including concurrent features, Actions, and the new <ViewTransition> component, at @reactuniverseconf.com last week. Watch the talk here! www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3As...

If you thought we were done with View Transitions, guess again! A feature Chrome is working on, is “Scoped View Transitions”, which allow you to scope a VT to a subtree of the DOM. This unlocks things like concurrent transitions and prevents layering issues. developer.chrome.com/blog/scoped-...

Did you know you can pass a promise to children? So you don't need to split into components just to get a loading boundary, just do <Suspense> {promise.then(data => <whatever data={data} />)} </Suspense>

Touch ID stopped working on two devices at the same time. Hands clean and all that. Do fingerprints change and I just didn’t know that somehow?

They colonized half the world for this

cooking something up, from the degenerate mind of @chantastic.bsky.social

We’re kicking off a weekly stream (on X/Twitter) to show how Radix is developed and maintained. Join our first stream with @chance.dev and @chantastic.bsky.social on July 10th at 1PM PST. We’ll triage issues, tackle accessibility challenges, and write model-first docs for LLMs!

In SF for the week. Holler if any bay folk wanna link up.

Guy next to me on the plane watched the weird military rally for the entire cross-country flight, occasionally clapping to himself while chugging 4 cans of white wine. Very confusing people watching.

I feel like I’m losing my mind reading that viral testing thread right now. I’ve dealt with so many problems and headaches when it comes to tests and not a single one has ever had anything to do with an extra closure.

be still my beating heart

If anyone is in Atlanta for you-know-what this week and wants to grab a bite, holler

If my friends’ kids could stop reaching adulthood so I’d stop getting older that would be great thanks

Not bad for pushing 40

The paradox of software “communities” is that the more you try to create and nurture them the more folks expect from and criticize you for building things they get to use for free

Maaaaan ViewTransition is looking smooth as butter. Can’t wait until this hits stable 💯 react.dev/blog/2025/04...

“Text me when you land”

Made other people live code for my talk, 10/10 highly recommend

In the lab

What do you think @chantastic.bsky.social and I are discussing here?

got the CSS wildin for this one

If you are attending React Miami and want to participate in a fun little quiz game on stage, drop in my DMs 🌴☀️

The comments section of every single Threads post is unhinged

Dropping this on a Friday should be a crime

Nashville was a lovely pit stop for six years of my life. Jason really knows how to make me miss it.

@nerdy.dev is there a way to transition between intrinsic sizes if the size property itself remains the same? Was hoping this would work without additional JS to determine the starting height, but no dice!

Almost made it through my 39th year on this planet without seeing The Room. Almost.

Had a blast

Still not entirely sure I think [current primary implementation of] React server components are worth all of the tradeoffs, but I really do love how they gently force you into more composable patterns. The ones that folks should have been using all along.

Remembering that time I put Seal’s Kiss From a Rose on repeat one night to prank my partner but she just fell asleep and it fucked my Spotify recommendations for a year

tfw you are a mid developer and grandpa asks you to fix the printer

Prep work for my first gig in over a decade coming in a few weeks. Can’t wait to blow up and kick this computer thing to the curb. LFG.

Does this mean we get to finally talk about something else?
