The useAnimatedProps hook from Reanimated really shines when used with liquid glass components 👀

🚨Cool announcement guys! I’ve been seeing a lot of List Profiling lately which made me realize we weren’t documenting one of the FlashList tools we use at @ShopifyEng for profiling lists. 🧵

All games with the “retro pixel” look should have CRT shaders built in to settings. The CRT effect makes pixel art look a lot nicer and how it was probably intended to look in the 90s when we played those games.

I wish they had a setting in fighting games to turn off mirror matches 😅

After being a developer working on a design system for two years, I don’t know that I’d want to start developing a new app without establishing that first. It makes developing features so much faster. It’s frustrating that a lot of startups rush past this step.

That’s a really cool way to do it! When Claude works it’s like coding in the year 3025, but unless you give it the right guardrails, all bets are off.

Claude Code is crazy good when you can give it examples of other similar code. I feel like most of my recent productivity gains have come from pointing it at code I know works. If I leave things open ended, it goes off the rails and makes a mess

Took a long break from Smash but started playing again with some friends at work. I got back into Elite Smash. Apparently I’ve still got it 😅

I am excited for when we have a more straightforward way to work with WebGPU and @threejs.org in @react.dev native. I always wanted to build a clone of the two stick shooter from Nier Automata as a learning project 🤔
