Supercharge your #TypeScript skills with these essential tips! ⚡️

1️⃣ Use 'unknown' instead of 'any' for better type safety 🔒
2️⃣ Leverage 'as const' for readonly arrays and objects 📖
3️⃣ Utilize keyof and mapped types for flexible interfaces 🎛️

@wesbos Might be time to setup pihole or something similar. Doesn't get rid of the subscription based annoyances, but certainly helps with the zero ads in kids apps/games.

Hey @MakingMonzo your android app crashes when scrolling down your OSS list in the settings 👀

Your future self is already thanking you! I went into a little more detail on each of these QoL topics here https://t.co/GWhjc10PC1.

Quality of life improvements for react native developers that I’ve learnt over the years and wished someone had told me sooner.

Your future self will be grateful!

🧪 Testing
“We don’t have time for testing!“ - every startup ever. Do the right thing and add those testIDs. Someone will eventually have to write tests and not having to go into code and adding a testID will make them very happy!

Hey @FaridSafi- my team & I are looking into providing support for react-native-gifted-chat. Let me know if you'd like to discuss some of the details. 💪

@EyalEizenberg Awaiting that first promise definitely made me think twice. Ended up guessing correctly. Moved the await around and experienced the same behaviour. Nice one!

@gorhom Please keep a11y in mind.. too many modals fail miserably at this!

[Johan du Toit @johan_du_toit]

Thanks to @ProSmokeBBQ for the MB560 and @hixsonmeatldn for the Picanha. It went down as one of the best backyard steaks to date!

[Johan du Toit @johan_du_toit]

@lukebfarrell Yup, albeit slowly. Happy to have more hands on board though.
