[tamba @tamba_io]

I have no idea what I’m doing (clearly) 🦞

[tamba @tamba_io]

@joenrv Access!

[tamba @tamba_io]

@FurqanR i'd like to try!

[tamba @tamba_io]

@hero_ui @iamsahaj_xyz here's the app: https://t.co/LXNZuUDFVu

only built for desktop for now. may add mobile viewports later

[tamba @tamba_io]

Built a little theme finder/picker for @hero_ui native

Uses the great themes that @iamsahaj_xyz created for tweakcn

just a small app i thought might be useful. im building in the react native ecosystem for the 1st time and im finding that it's not as mature as web/react

[tamba @tamba_io]

@imeronn @rncomponents This is awesome!

You are easily creating the best react native components/library out there

[tamba @tamba_io]

Welp, never using my bilt card again after Feb 1 #bilt2.0

[tamba @tamba_io]

@trpfsu @0rtbo I’m coming from the web world (next.js, tailwind, shadcn) and I’m trying to make my first mobile app

What design framework/system/library do you recommend, if any? Nativewind, gluestack, tamagui?

[tamba @tamba_io]

Merry Christmas, from @claudeai 😪

We're the CMS @leerob migrated away from.

He's got valid points. But we've got some context to add.

[tamba @tamba_io]

did some sleuthing...

looks like @cursor_ai's website switched to @sanity_io CMS (my personal favorite) a few months ago, but now has recently migrated off

In his article, Lee claims that Cursor spent over $55k in 4 months, on CDN cost alone

[Lee Robinson @leerob]

I migrated cursor​.com from a CMS to raw code and Markdown.

I had estimated it would take a few weeks, but was able to finish the migration in three days with $260 in tokens and hundreds of agents.

Here's how I did it + all my my usage stats.

@elevenlabs @ElevenLabsDevs @ElevenLabsDevs any plans to address issues like these, or to review PRs that the community opens?

genuinely curious -- doesn't make sense for me to build on your infra if I can't expect basic components and infra to work

[tamba @tamba_io]

pretty frustrating trying to work within the @elevenlabs & @ElevenLabsDevs dev ecosystem.

Numerous issues and pull requests open on their `elevenlabs-swift-sdk` repo that have seen no activity in over a month.

and their flagship component of the `components-swift` repo, the Orb Visualizer, is completely broken and cannot be used. an issue was opened up 1 month ago about it. there hasn't been any response

so many of these things could probably just be handed to a claude github agent/action too, and be fixed

[tamba @tamba_io]

@elevenlabs @ElevenLabsDevs here's the components issue:
https://t.co/AqqU8yIbPa

imo, there's little incentive for me try to fix small issues like these and open up PRs because I don't imagine the PRs would even be reviewed
