"[OpenAI] is encouraging users to connect their personal medical records and wellness apps, such as Apple Health, Peloton, MyFitnessPal, Weight Watchers, and Function" Don't do this. Don't do this. Don't do this. Don't do this. Don't do this. Don't do this. Don't do this. Don't do this.

My first advice to junior contributors is to STOP using vibe coding for PRs. OSS is always about people more than about code. We don't need more code generated by LLM, we need more people who care.

started digging about a clever way to add an onPaste callback on RN TextInput without forking the whole current TextInput implementation. Not that simple.

I plan to drop support of some unsupported OS versions (iOS < 15.1, Android SDK < 24), and I think it will not be a major bump for my libraries (ex: 5.4.2 -> 5.5.0) It always has been clear in the README, and will be in the release changelog. WDYT? yea or nay?

There's a package on npm that is squatted for 8 years. No downloads, version 0.0.0, the whole code is a module.exports = {} Is there a way to contact npm to claim it?

What's next? I'm going to work on my open source libraries, release a micro-SaaS, and probably find a new job by 2026. Stay in touch!

🎉 Introducing React Native Harness - a lightweight framework for testing native modules directly on device or emulator. Write tests in a Jest-like syntax, run them in a real React Native runtime, and verify native behavior without mocks.

Dans cette étude menée par @buffer.com sur 18 MILLIONS de posts, la conclusion est claire et nette : si vous ne payez pas, vous n'existez pas. Si vous payez, vous n'existez pas non plus ! Sauf si vous avez l'abo le + cher et là, les bots vous ciblent directement, alors vous avez de "l'engagement" 👍

Just announced at React Conf - New React API available in canary: 🔥 <ViewTransition> 🔥 <Fragment ref> Particularly excited for Fragment Refs, exposing platform-specific APIs such as: - addEventListener() - observeUsing() - focus() - getClientRects() - scrollIntoView()

I just discovered that a block list I subscribe to went rogue and started blocking all Americans 🫠 (At first, it was only supposed to block people who were actively supporting Trump)

now is the time to use your power as an industry by choosing if you want to give your money to a guy who finds it fun to support criminal governments with a big fucking smile on his face

@expo.dev SDK 54 now targets Android 16, which means edge-to-edge will be enabled in all Android apps, and cannot be disabled. Additionally, react-native-edge-to-edge is no longer a dependency of the expo package because the required functionality was built into React Native thanks to @zoontek.me 👏

The uncomfortable reality is that it is 100x harder to become a solid software engineer than to become hands-on with these tools A solid dev starts to use these tools and 2 weeks later they know what needs to be known Someone using these tools is not necessarily a solid dev tho…

These popups are more annoying than cookie banners, is there a way to disable them on all website somewhere in our Google account?
