@appandflow @S0LARIN @expo Clean implementation of ease @S0LARIN 🙌

[App&Flow @appandflow]

As fans of his work, we reached out to @S0LARIN for feedback and a chance to collaborate on a series of examples that use react-native-ease.

Here's a first use case: a simple pulse animation around a power toggle. Snippet and full @expo app repo in the comments.

🆕 Today we open up the beta for our new mobile Observability service.

If you've ever shipped a release and felt uneasy for the next 24 hours...this service is for you.

@kadikraman's App.js talk from today goes into excellent detail. We'll share that link below and a page where you can get started with the beta ↓

Our library, react-native-transformer-text-input, can be used for all kinds of formatting. It includes providers for common use cases such as phone numbers, patterns, and currencies.

It allows for smooth, fast, and flicker-free text transformations in your @expo apps.

@charlesvinette Can’t wait to rock them on clients calls 😍

Whenever the team gets together (in person), rare as it is, it calls for some new T-shirts 🥰

I've been using AI agents to iterate on a fix for an iOS React Native TextInput rendering bug overnight, using @callstack agent-device + RN Tester (the RN repo's example app) as its test loop.

The video below replays each fix attempt. 📷

@fun @multicoin @SignalFire Absolutely wild Series A! Congrats!

[Simon Plessis @simonplesss]

@_meer_habib @expo @swmansion @ziusko Looks great! Love the black on white UI. 🙌

[Simon Plessis @simonplesss]

Love seeing Stripe pull this off. Probably one of the best companies to empower something like this.

[Stripe @stripe]

Today, we’re launching the @link wallet for agents. It lets you securely empower agents to spend on your behalf. Your payment credentials are never exposed and you approve every purchase.

App&Flow's Consulting team making big moves.

Special thanks to @expo for the spotlight! 🙏

[Expo @expo]

When does your React Native animation library actually matter?

@janicduplessis from @appandflow benchmarked per-frame UI thread cost across four approaches.

Short answer: long-running animations, big lists, low-end devices. One-shot transitions, less so.

The full report with instructions for reproducing the benchmarks are below ↓

if you're in or near prague, check out the @expo x @strvcom hackathon this friday (may 1)!

💡 the idea: pick a business that you care about that either doesn't have an app or whose app desperately needs to be replaced, then build the best app you can in a day.

🏆 prizes: 10k in expo credits! tickets to app.js conf! get featured on expo blog and socials. and more.

🤷‍♂️ folks from our team (@sethwebster @davidmokos_ Adam Zvada and @joe_d_ryan) will be on site to help out!

[Simon Plessis @simonplesss]

@expo @ccheever Whoa indeed! Well deserved team!! 🙌

[App&Flow @appandflow]

Flickers don't belong in premium apps! That's why we built react-native-transformer-text-input.

Instead of going Native/JS/Native, it runs on the UI thread, thanks to @swmansion 's RN worklets.

Demo built in 15 minutes with @expo Skills.

[Simon Plessis @simonplesss]

@HHaandr @RevenueCat Not too shabby for a test app! Love the idea!

[Evan Bacon 🥓 @Baconbrix]

@Charlesvinette @expo Love the playlist 🙌

[Janic @janicduplessis]

Just shipped shadow and border animation support in react-native-ease 0.7.0. Now you can do this... or something more serious.
