It's great to see that you love the PUMA app as well ☺️ That was an app that I really enjoyed working on, especially adding all the hidden easter eggs!

Just listened to this on my flight back from @appjsconf. It was a great podcast episode, which I hope will help to update many web developers outdated understanding of React Native🤞
This was such a fun experience! Thank you so much to @wesbos and @stolinski for having me on!

🔥Hot Tip🔥 When demoing a React Native app, running locally, drop `LogBox.ignoreAllLogs()` into the app. This prevents the LogBox from being a distraction! (Any issues will still be logged to the console)

This is really cool. @jacobs_handle I've DM'd you to discuss an Android version. It's something I'd love to have a go at!
The 2FA app that tells you when you get `012345` jacobbartlett.substack.com/p… This is a great write up by @jacobs_handle 👏

This intrigued me to see what my first RN app (which is still in production!) was using. react-native version 0.29 Jan 2016 I'm not sure that Expo was even an option back then 🤔
Found my first RN repo today, when I was doing a POC for @Vitralogy since we were doing Xamarin at the time. @expo version 25 with RN navigation 1.0.0-beta.27 and redux! March 2018

The engineers I've met at App.js Conf have been top tier. I'm really looking forward to attending this year and meeting old and new friends.
We’ve met some of the best engineers on the Expo team at App.js conf.

AppCenter is shutting down in a year. Not at all surprised, as it's clearly been in maintenance mode for a few years now learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/ap…

Exactly how I created my startup years ago. I made a system to manage maintenance tasks where I worked, instead of spending the winter period doing the maintenance myself based on paper records. Papertrail.io

blog.pragmaticengineer.com/t… matches up well with my own opinions on what a software consultant should focus on, though as a consultant its often hard to be in a position to focus on things like end-to-end feature ownership. Being proactive and asking 'why' are super important though

I built this before buying the domain for once 😆

A moment ago I published reactprofiler.com - Its first feature - Upload React DevTools profiles to easily compare and share 🚀 Just upload 2 profiling sessions, then hit the big blue button between any two sessions to view in instant comparison.

For a real-life demo - Here's one I made earlier - reactprofiler.com/?i=0&a=eyJ…

Does anyone else find it difficult to compare the output from multiple React DevTools profiling sessions? If, like me, you do, then I’ve created a tool just for this job! 🙌🧵

I've loved how easy @nextjs and @vercel were to get up and running with. This whole project has only taken around 8 hours over the weekend 🕢
