thought i'd be cool in california 🎶.#reactnative

iOS 26 liquid glass is likely just all CAFilter and UIVisualEffect under the hood (the refraction effect likely just offsets the effect view, or a mesh distortion pass). in this old demo, you can see me struggling making the custom effect look good 😔.

i miss doing oss work 😔.

i'm afraid of breaking things in: react-native-ios-context-menu (so this is just quick demo). but i think interactive previews would be nice to have (i just wish that i had the resources to polish + test it)

react-native-ios-modal.react-native-ios-visual-effect-view. i had so much planned, only for it to look like this 😔

i wanted to post a demo today, but i'm getting so many build errors suddenly 😔. (all i did was re-install node_modules). codegen can't find the specs for react-native-ios-visual-effect-view (i triple checked that the codgenconfig is valid).

react-native-ios-visual-effect-view (v0.1.0-17). still need to write the docs (making the CAFilters look good requires a lot of trial and error unfortunately). the math for creating the CAColorMatrix transforms also doesn't seem right

react-native-ios-visual-effect-view (v0.1.0-15) ✨. added: blending modes, foreground filters 🙂‍↕️. (CAFilter animations have already been implemented, just haven't exposed the api yet to react native unfortunately). #reactnative

animated background/content CAFilter (the example is a bit messy tho). it's kind of like the effect modifiers in swiftui, but for uiview. i'll add it to a future release of: react-native-ios-visual-effect-view (soon-ish). #reactnative #swift

here's a demo of react-native-ios-visual-effect-view (v0.1.0-11). added support for custom filters 🙂‍↕️.todo: write docs, expose animatable filters 🙂‍↔️. #reactnative #swift

coming soon-ish to: react-native-ios-visual-effect-view (animatable custom CAFilter). back to doing oss on my free time again, so i'm not release sure when i'm able to release this 😔. #reactnative

view w/ custom n-polygon masks (salvaged from the modal lib i was making a few months ago). the custom coreanimation shape layers can be synced/driven by uikit animations. thank you to the 7 ppl sponsoring my work. #reactnative #uikit

react-native-ios-utilities might be stable enough across fabric + paper for me to start making components again. didn’t think it would take this long 😔 (thank you for the 3 people sponsoring my work). #reactnative

quick paper + fabric tests .#reactnative

not very exciting, but this at least shows that the new arch compatibility layer in `react-native-ios-utilities` actually works-ish

RT @notbrent: go sponsor @DominicStop on github if you use one of his libraries! (or if you just want to sponsor a really nice and smart du….

RT @tamagui_js: Domenic is working on a bunch of primitives to bring a whole new amazing kit of native adaptations and style properties to….

for a given UIBlurEffect style, UIVisualEffectView uses different combinations of CAFilters to achieve the look (shown in the video). UIVibrancyEffectStyle is even more complicated, and used a color matrix. #swift #uikit

thank you @natebirdman for being my first github sponsor 😭

fixed the animation bug ✨

since there aren't a lot of resources online, here's a demo of UIView + CAFilter effects. #uikit #swiftlang
