Throughout history, ancient prophets faced savage persecution, torture, and death for courageously denouncing the sins of Israel, Judah, and surrounding kingdoms. Some were cut down by the sword, others pelted with stones until they perished. Many were confined in wooden stocks,

Since releasing the static config API, it has always bothered me that we had to manually annotate `useNavigation` to get methods like `setOptions`. I'm very happy to finally solve this shortcoming.
We're working on making `useNavigation` types more useful Before: `useNavigation` returned a type that didn't contain navigator methods like `toggleDrawer` for Drawer. New: You can pass the name of the screen, and it'll return types that match the screen.

2. Pressto is built on a simple idea: touchables should feel coherent. It’s not just about adding animations, but about using a consistent animation curve across all interactions.

The latest version of React Navigation now has a new unstable API to automatically navigate to the correct screen after a conditional render (e.g., if a screen was opened via a deep link, but was behind auth) Just pass `UNSTABLE_routeNamesChangeBehavior="lastUnhandled"`

This was a very cool and informative stream for anyone curious about webGPU and shaders.
It’s time! Let’s build a liquid glass effect using TypeGPU. 💧 Even if you’re new to WebGPU, this is a great way to start bringing GPU effects to the web and learn the basics of shaders. Grab your tea or coffee and tune in! ☕️ https://t.co/lxCe4eHlEp

React Native Screens is one of the most impactful libraries in React Native ❤️
While mostly working undercover (react navigation/expo router), react-native-screens is the backbone of most RN apps. In the past months we’ve put a ton of work into it (not just iOS 26 updates). Super excited for all the things that will come out next in screens v5
