Expo Agent just let me one-shot a custom lock screen widget Literally never been easier to create any native feature

@_chenglou Impressive work! Need subway surfers + markdown with collision avoidance.

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

@Dimillian We have expo/skills which is primarily built around Claude Code, but happy to dig in on codex semantics. github.com/expo/skills

@Baconbrix Do we need something for Expo? I might need your help

Ohhh look at this Codex plugin, it has some nice skills 😉

@ianzelbo Yes, and Expo generally does the opposite

@Baconbrix Don’t they use react native for web and native for iOS and Android…

Reminder that X is “pure native”

@stephanedascoli Congrats on the release! This is perhaps the most excited I've ever been about a foundation model.

🚨 We're very happy to introduce TRIBE v2: a foundation model of the brain's responses to sight, sound & language. 📄 Paper: ai.meta.com/research/publi… ▶️ Demo: aidemos.atmeta.com/tribev2/ 💻 Code: github.com/facebookresear… 🤗 Model: huggingface.co/facebook/tribe…

@amosbastian @tejask @expo @ccheever When is it failing?

@tejask @expo @ccheever @Baconbrix if only eas-cli build didn't fail 99% of the time for me

for real, @expo is the best developer tool and an absolute Godsend coupled with EAS for distribution, the entire mobile + native + web development lifecycle for web-first devs is solved. really really proud of the great work @ccheever, @Baconbrix, and the team have done.

@tejask @expo @ccheever Really appreciate it!

@theo banger

Thankful that Garry Tan named his project gstack and not tanstack

I want to distribute this pretty simple technical post on X but after ~1h I gave up: 1. inline code doesn’t seem to be supported. 2. creating code blocks is very involved, multiple popups instead of three backticks. 3. the language picker is wild. “C” required scrolling to the bottom of the list of random languages like “brainfuck”. 4. The monospaced fonts in code blocks didn’t align correctly. 5. Text would randomly become h2 while typing. I just want to copy/paste md that’s roughly as complicated as a github comment. github.com/EvanBacon/evan…

@Baconbrix Can you share what’s not working?

Writing a blog post in X is pretty painful. Is there really no way to just drop a markdown file in?

@Gustavo05612447 Expanding the list every day! Just a lot of people on it

@Baconbrix Can't wait to try this! Joined the waitlist a while ago, when can I expect to have access?

@brentlok_ Cool, thanks!

@Baconbrix Released in github.com/uni-stack/uniw…!

Does anyone know if you can define PlatformColor for CSS variables in uniwind like in nativewind?

Agents spend so much time reasoning about how to safely create a swift file without corrupting the project 😭

@LandseerEnga @expo Looks great!

@expo @Baconbrix this one's for you!

React Native devs: Your background agent can now hot reload in the cloud. We built a CLI that tunnels your local @expo app to a cloud simulator so every code change shows up live. Claude Code can now: - Edit a component - Watch it render live - Confirm the change No simulator on your laptop. No screenshots. A live dev loop, in the cloud, at scale.

@brentlok_ Got it working, had to remove other CSS that was causing uniwind to break: --sf-yellow: color(display-p3 1 0.84 0.04);

@brentlok_ Doesn't seem to work with platform colors on iOS

@ianzelbo @interaction rincon hill area has a bunch of good spots

Kinda blowing my mind here @interaction Looking for apartments but didn’t want to check availability every day - poke is going to give me a daily summary of available units with the filters I chose

@buildrguy Sure!

@Baconbrix @jonathanuvc please? 🙏 been a customer for a long long time I really want to try this
