Bluesky’s social-app doesn’t use any global state manager (redux/zustand/jotai/mobx etc). Why is that? 🧵

the problem I have is that it changes global state from a last resort to a first resort. thus the lowest effort solution always turns into a nightmare mess instead of being isolated and composable

Support for PlatformColor, DynamicColorIOS & CSS custom properties is coming to React Navigation's theming system 💅
Currently, it only supports plain color strings. But this will enable using design system tokens defined in native code or CSS without needing to redeclare them.

Great post by Matthias Endler.
It helps understanding how wheels work, how you can fix them when broken, how to make better wheels if really needed, or how to find creative use cases for wheels by thinking outside the box.

these generic APIs often have issues with underfetching (not enough data for a screen, need multiple requests or worse — multiple roundtrips) and overfetching (grabbing more stuff that this particular screen doesn’t actually need). the idea with BFF is to be more tailored “server part of the client”

Day 10: Expo Config Plugins
In my opinion, possibly the single greatest thing in the #ReactNative ecosystem, even better than New Architecture. Config plugins fix SO much pain, and go hand-in-hand with the prebuild process, together enabling what's called Continuous Native Generation (or CNG)

Day 9: Expo and #ReactNative
As someone who’s gone from actively avoiding @expo.dev to never shutting up about it, I’m trying hard not to make this sound like a love letter. Coming back to appdev after years of @nextjs.org, I felt right at home.

Day 8: Hermes, Yoga and Metro
Back when #ReactNative was being built, Facebook needed foundational technologies that, at the time, did not exist (or were too young). Yoga, Metro, Yarn, Jest AND Docusaurus all came from Facebook that year, and it was a very cool year for open source.

Let's look at Bluesky performance on Android!
I managed to build a release build of the app and ran some traces, let's see what we can find...
I have ~hour, will add to this thread as I investigate

Hey @danabra.mov ,
Would love to see your workflow for react-native development
If you could try to do the live stream someday like @pfrazee.com did initially would be great
BTW you have a youtube channel also

react’s model is that setting state puts update in that component’s queue and sets a dirty flag. the dirty flag propagates up the tree ("this subtree has work"). there is a game loop that checks for highest pri work to do. it drills down to dirty bit and recalcs from there down with queued update.
