Mobile UX question. If you have a button on one bottom tab that links to a screen typically found on another bottom tab, what is the proper way to handle presw? - switch tabs to show it in that tab - show the screen in the same tab - show the screen in modal on top of tabs ?

After React 19 upgrade I was excited to use normal refs rather than forwardRefs in RN, but I guess forwardRef in some use cases, is that right? Official docs say: "In React 19, forwardRef is no longer necessary. Pass ref as a prop instead." so I thought I will get rid off them!

I might have figured out a new coding paradigm: Sauna coding 🧖‍♂️

Tried to make a feature of logging user out after 5 min of inactivity by using rn-gesture-handler. Basically wrapping the app and listening to gestures and updating activity state. It kind of works, but there are odd visual issues and some touch events are swallowed. Any ideas 😅

Hey @Baconbrix any expo router tips how should we handle navigation stack in onboarding/login so that the stack gets empty w/ no back navigation available to earlier steps. With replace the last route gets replaced, but able to nav to steps before that.

Been waiting for this one since.. 2018! Great day to be a RN dev. Huge accomplishment for those that have worked on this 🎉

Okay for my use case I think it was enough to download apk from the play store and inspect it for assets/index.android.bundle or lib/libreactnative.so type files to determine whether the app uses react native. Not perfect but good enough approximation.

I have been tasked to evaluate RN a11y capabilities vs native. I noticed there was a good push for improvements under #GAADPledge but the last update is from 2022. Any updates on this? cc: @Eli_White @cortinico

Mobile questions 🤔 1. What is the name of this UX pattern? Where app goes bit "down" and smaller in the bg while modal comes from bottom 2. Is it iOS only? What is the equivalent on Android? 3. How to do this in RN? Can it be done using bottom sheet ⁦@gorhom⁩? Thanks 🙏

Been a while since I had to work on a screen that has text inputs & button that needs to avoid soft keyboard 😅 I hoped this would have been "solved" already, are there really not better solutions yet than RN KeyboardAvoidingView which seems to still have all sorts of quirks?

@kadikraman any tips? 😊

When having multiple app variants with @expo and running run:ios, it seems to launch different appvariant than the one just updated. Is this bug or am I forgetting some config? bundleIds are like com.domain.appName and https://t.co/xnTF0KjTrH Anyone else have the same?

Did you know that it is now possible to create your own custom chat agents for Github Copilot Chat? Find out what they are and how to create them in my blog post showcasing how to create your personal double agent 😀 Link to the blog in the thread 👇

Got an Apple Watch, any app/use case recommendations? My favorite ones so far: Unlock mac/1password with it 😀

It was fun to participate in this one, check out the video!

Thanks @tchayen and @expo for an awesome workshop day at @GoforeGroup - It was very nice to get firsthand instructions on Expo and how it has changed to accommodate normal RN projects. The paradigm has switched from React Native OR Expo 🤔 to React Native AND Expo 🤗

Sometimes I feel apps get developed just because there are big teams working on them, not because there is a need. Like slack latest UI changes have just felt jarring. Wish they would have used all that time & energy to just make it faster. That at less would have been useful.

Gooooood morning Wrocław!! Ready for day 2 of @react_native_eu 🔥 Looking forward to SO MANY good talks today 🤩 like the Hermes ones in the morning, the @ReactNativeMSFT one from Khalef and @jamonholmgren’s about ai and upgrades… and so much more!!
