@ReactNativeRdio AI made a big impact on the amount of software that teams are able to ship, but I think most users would say that it has had no positive impact on their experience. What practices do you think teams should adopt to make sure quality is just as (if not more) important as quantity?

This was such a fun project to test the limits of React Native (and Bluetooth). Hit me up if you have a UTV and want to test it out!

What happens when the factory dashboard isn't good enough?

There's a new major malware / worm / supply chain attack that affects React Native packages (among plenty of others) that my fellow RN / Expo devs should be aware of. I'll link to an article about it in the next tweet.

It's called shai-hulud 2 and it grabs env secrets from CI or your local machine and publishes public Github repos with them exposed to the world.

Some of the RN/Expo packages that were affected (non-exhaustive, won't add version # -- look it up):

actbase/css-to-react-native-transform
rn-zustand-expo-template
seung-ju/react-native-action-sheet
strapbuild/react-native-date-time-picker
strapbuild/react-native-perspective-image-cropper
strapbuild/react-native-perspective-image-cropper-poojan31
posthog-react-native
posthog-react-native-session-replay
react-native-datepicker-modal
react-native-email
react-native-fetch
react-native-get-pixel-dimensions
react-native-google-maps-directions
react-native-jam-icons
react-native-log-level
react-native-modest-checkbox
react-native-modest-storage
react-native-phone-call
react-native-retriable-fetch
react-native-use-modal
react-native-view-finder
react-native-websocket
react-native-worklet-functions
expo-audio-session
expo-router-on-rails
(probably others)

@jpudysz It looks like it's my home network. I'm running adgaurd and for some reason it doesn't like the cert. Works fine on my mobile network. Super excited to play around with this by the way!

[Sean Barker @SeanBarkerDev]

@jpudysz Still not working for me. I can try from another device in a little bit.

@jpudysz Looks like the docs site is down

The future of app development with Expo Router and universal React Server Components

@mark__lawlor How safe is the v4 Nativewind beta? I'm starting a new project today and would love to just commit to v4 out of the gate if you think it would be mature enough for a fall production release.

The plan? Get the board to fire you, then rehire you to take full control of the board.

[Sean Barker @SeanBarkerDev]

@t3dotgg The use case is also grossly misunderstood by the community. People want to use it as a replacement for lifecycle methods but that’s not what it’s intended for.

@tomekzaw_ Logging

[Sean Barker @SeanBarkerDev]

Curious on what people think of using this pattern to apply responsive styles for @tailwindcss

Does it make it easier to read or is it just extra steps that you don't care for?

@Baconbrix Working on rewriting an Ionic app in RN with Solito and Expo Router 😍 Is there any reason not to use expo/html-elements for the entire thing to keep my web app semantic? Not sure if it has performance implications.
