@thymikee @richkuo7 Token usage yes but also general complexity. To me, it’s all about avoiding unnecessary implementations. Why not use an abstraction layer (RN) that you can create and maintain patterns once. As soon as it’s necessary, go the next layer down, ie native or your own sdk etc

@richkuo7 yup, apart from OTA there’s the token usage. but you’re not wrong, with fully agentic teams many of these challenges go away and tech is secondary. if tokens are not restricted you can migrate quickly anyway. high quality apps still need people so human component counts as well

react native is dead

@Baconbrix gonna try this, thanks :)

Just pushed serve-sim@0.1.40! Now with better streaming performance, and Intel mac support. I've also migrated to IOSurface for zero copy on the camera pixel buffer. Thanks for the suggestions and contributions!

@OpenAIDevs @Baconbrix @sentry Absolute goat; might need to use this myself

Shoutout to the open source projects behind this: • Serve-sim powers the streaming simulator by @Baconbrix github.com/EvanBacon/serv… • SnapshotPreviews extracts SwiftUI previews by @sentry github.com/getsentry/Snap…

More of the iOS app loop, now inside Codex. The Build iOS Apps plugin lets Codex view and test your iOS app in the in-app browser, open SwiftUI previews, and hot reload edits without leaving Codex.

@Baconbrix can’t wait to see what you’ll do next! lmk if you end up in nyc

After 9 years, I just finished my last week at Expo. Started working on it when I was 19, and it's been the center of my life ever since. Incredibly grateful to the team and community we built along the way!

@thymikee @GroundControl @appjsconf nice pic :)
