what happens when you ask an LLM to recommend the best library for your RN project? turns out it's variable 😭 @jmeistrich talked about this problem with @lukasz_app at @nextappdevcon turns out not even the legend gets Legend List recommended all the time 🥲

Word of the day: SMULTRONSTÄLLE (Swedish) - a hidden spot that you escape to for relaxation or alone time such as a café or secluded park. Literally 'place of wild strawberries'.

4/ A better approach is to start by writing your own content so people get to know you, your insights, what you're solving, and why they should care.

shouting into the void here, I guess… but if you look at this and think it's time to dunk on this, think again: a huge chunk of teams choose to use Electron. by miles. the cheat sheet to this tweet is simply, there's more viable options than just Electron.

People keep telling me that native apps are much faster than React Native, but I don’t think it’s true. So I built the same app in 9 different desktop frameworks. I found that AppKit is slightly faster/lighter than React Native, but React Native beats SwiftUI by a good margin.

Hey Japanese learners! I built a font that renders Furigana or Romaji above Kanji, with ligatures to support words. You can apply it anywhere to get furigana notations for free. Give it a try, and I hope it will be helpful :) furifont.antfu.me/

Furifont: furigana built into the font

A Japanese font that shows furigana by itself.

AI may make native code easier to produce, but great developer experience still matters. In the State of #ReactNative, the panel discusses why React Native’s fast setup, live reload, and cross-platform workflow make it a powerful foundation for AI-assisted development. youtube.com/watch?v=dx-5GCUX… #ReactNative #AI #DeveloperExperience
