Big things are coming to Granville Street this summer!
In partnership with @downtownvan BIA, we're incredibly excited to announce the Granville Street Pedestrian Zone!
Between June 11th and July 20th, coinciding with the FIFA World Cup 2026, five blocks of Granville Street (between Georgia and Davie) will be converted into a fun, free, and family-friendly space, showcasing the best of what Vancouver has to offer as we welcome visitors from around the world.
The Granville Street Pedestrian Zone will be an excellent opportunity to dine, shop, listen to live music, and connect with soccer fans from around the world.
We look forward to seeing everyone this summer!

@SzymonRybczak @satya164 Would your tool just focus on testing or also (AI) development? In both cases you want an agent to verify/test that a certain feature works or a bug exists and provide proof with a screen recording.
English
we're working on a new devtool company
the goal is to provide reliable feedback to humans and agents whether new feature/bugfix/refactor works correctly.
it's time to remove testing bottleneck.
DMs are open, feel free to reach out for early access!
Oskar@o_kwasniewski
agents are getting more and more capable every day. soon most of software development will look like: > make me feature XYZ > *agent works on this in the cloud*.. here is a pr then the biggest bottleneck will be testing. I'm working on a startup to solve this. DM if you are interested.

My @openclaw bot now lets me know what the 🐐 @nishanbende is cooking so I can keep up with Expo updates straight from the source 🤓
This isn’t creepy, right? 😂
English
@betomoedano Looks good! Great inspiration for what I’m building
English
@claudeai Nice work for web apps, hopefully mobile apps will be next?
One thing I wish would be implemented is that AI agents can verify animations and graphics look good. Because otherwise you still need a human in the loop.

@GroundControl Similar experience, it had no problem creating a solar system with planets and a bright sun. But then I tried a house with a roof on it with solar panels and it kept doing it wrong, the roof was inverted and the panels floating mid air.

I've been doing some three.js work with Claude code, and even though I'm able to accomplish things I'm sure I'm significantly weaker than someone with three.js expertise. The expertise of the developer does matter a lot.

@BenjaminKomen @expo @amanhimself ngl this got me 😂 looked at the video first and went "???" when it said "this would typically navigate you"
flawless demo 👏
English
@expo UI is getting pretty good, you can create really nice SwiftUI components that look exactly like e.g. the iOS Settings app. I played around in this repository (github.com/benjaminkomen/…) and created a PR to improve the documentation (github.com/expo/expo/pull…)

@RobertJBye I can code up a GitHub branch, create PR but then lack the ability to view and act on code review comments. The ‘gh’ tool is not installed.
English
We’re making the Claude mobile app even better, so please share your feedback!
What annoys you about it? What bugs are you seeing? What features are missing?
English
@BenjaminKomen @expo Thanks Benjamin! Your PR contributions are always a delight to receive! I'll check it soon :)

@levelsio It’s the “doe normaal dan ben je al gek genoeg” mentality. Everyone needs to be equal. Prime Minister takes bike to work, not a limousine. That’s just how Dutch people think 🤷♂️
English
Dutch people being angry when their world famous top athlete is flying private
Says a lot about the degrowth mentality that infected the majority of the country (and Western Europe)
Reward excellence! Or there'll be no incentive to be excellent anymore and nobody will try to be in the first place
Which is exactly how you end up with a dying culture

The Dutch Republic had the world's highest GDP per capita for 150 years Built Europe's economic engine through systems and competence Now Dutchmen rage when Jutta Leerdam, Olympic gold medalist, flies private Success built the Netherlands Resentment defines it today When did socialists convince us that excellence deserves punishment?

Amazon says that it’s going to replace 600,000 workers with robots. Other companies are moving in the same direction.
How will working families feed their kids and pay their bills? We’ve got to fight back.
English
And the power went out.. somehow this still happens several times a year, get your game up @bchydro , or I’ll have to get a backup battery
English
@Baconbrix This is pretty awesome, I tried most of it. Still having issues with displaying Expo UI stuff in a form sheet, it doesn’t show, but normal RN stuff does. It does work to use an Expo UI bottom sheet with Expo UI content. Seems buggy to mix and match RN with Expo UI

You can just one-shot maximum beautiful Expo iOS apps with Expo Router v7 (SDK 55). No desktop, Xcode, or rebuilds required.
All the new features are captured in expo/skills and ready to use with the beta today.
Beto@betomoedano
Expo Router just unlocked a new level of native on iOS 🚀 For years, cross-platform meant tradeoffs. Your app worked everywhere, but it never felt quite right. That gap is finally closing. With the latest version of Expo Router, native iOS APIs are now exposed declaratively. No UIKit wrestling. No fake UI. If you want your app to feel truly native on iOS, these are the APIs you should be using: - Native Tabs (real system tab bar) - Stack Toolbar (native header controls) - Bottom toolbars with placement=“bottom” - Bottom accessories attached to the tab bar - Zoom transitions for fluid navigation - Native sheet footers (experimental) I wrote a full breakdown with code examples and video demos of these features in my blog (link below 👇)

My @openclaw just instructed me to create a five step automated shortcut in Apple Shortcuts and I’m blown away 🤯 These are very powerful building blocks, now I want to create an app that exposes Shortcuts
English
@schlimmson Great job! Indeed a lot snappier (especially the harvesting)
English
Biggest Tiny Harvest update so far 🔥
I touched every single view, tried to remove unnecessary taps and make life easier. Aligned themes, images...everything.
If you tried the game before and bounced off the UI or pacing, this update should feel *very* different.
And if you’re new: this is definitely the best version to jump in 😍

@_catwu I ran out of my Pro limit till Tuesday 😣 but excited to try it in a few days

Claude Cowork is now available to Pro and Max users. We'd love to hear how you're using it!
Lydia Hallie ✨@lydiahallie
Claude Cowork now has delete protection -- it'll ask for your permission before it wants to permanently delete any files, no unexpected surprises. Cowork is now also available to Pro users, give it a try!

@aarongrider Nice work on tablet support, I’ve experimented with this for my app as well. Did you see significant usage on tablets or users requesting this feature in reviews?
English
The app layout was redesigned to scale from one Starlink to hundreds.
- First-class tablet and large-screen support with split-panel layouts
- Unified side menu for account + terminal selection
- At-a-glance online status and hardware details, even across large Starlink lists
- Subscription and terminal search for large accounts
- Faster, more reliable switching between UTs
English
Heads up! We shipped a major update to the @Starlink app this week.
This release spans real-time sky scanning, a redesigned multi-terminal experience, and first-class tablet support.
Big UX changes on the surface. Big architectural work underneath. 🧵👇
English
Having lots of fun with my @openclaw ! a bit of a pain to set up but now it’s really 🤯
I’m using an old MacBook which is fine, but could be too much to run 24/7. I subscribed to Claude Pro and Opus 4.5 is the best but runs into limits fast. Gemini 3 is a nice free fallback.
