Can't wait to see more about the game. You had me hooked from the moment you shared the first concept art when you announced the studio!

Took inspiration from Solarin Johnson and built a Nintendo 64–style rumble effect for the disabled state of our pressables in our upcoming @expo.dev fantasy football app, @sundayff.app . It has heavy haptic feedback, of course!

I had planned about a day to get a decent drag and drop list working for reordering users' draft queues. I saw react-native-sortables on Reddit and decided to give it a tryβ€”

had it working flawlessly in like 45 minutes. Absolute joy to use. Awesome lib, thanks @matipl01.bsky.social !

Built-in docs, when possible, apply to mobile too! Following @phamous.dev's advice, we're working to include descriptions and explanations directly in their relevant context throughout @sundayff.app

Meet Liquid Glass - WWDC25 - Videos - Apple Developer Liquid Glass unifies Apple platform design language while providing a more dynamic and expressive user experience. Get to know the design...

The session in question is here for anyone interested in watchingβ€”it’s a worthwhile 20-minute video, even if you’re not a designer. developer.apple.com/videos/play/...

How about we give them a chance to address some of the feedback they're gathering, instead of trashing it? I mean, how great are the built-in morphing animations!

By now, most of us have seen examples of visibility concerns with Liquid Glass. But it’s still just the first developer beta, and we know they already have solutions to address themβ€”like that thicker material, for instance.

The 'Meet Liquid Glass' session tells us why:

'When used on larger components, Liquid Glass transforms into a thicker, more substantial material. It casts deeper, richer shadows, has more pronounced lensing and refraction effects, and a softer scattering of light.'

I'm convinced that after a few rounds of user feedback and polishing, Liquid Glass will be a worthy upgrade to Apple's design system.

Last week, I had an exchange with @codewithbeto.dev
about how nice the iOS 26 context menu looked compared to some other Liquid Glass components.

Our consulting team helped @rainbow.me cut iOS E2E test times by 50% and shipped a fix to React Native core. Read how below

The improvement was actually in React Native core. Here’s what was happening, and how it was fixed 🧡

After watching the #WWDC25 sessions on Liquid Glass and the new design system, I'm pretty excited! A lot of attention went into the material, and I'm looking forward to experimenting with it.

I'm making a TLDW doc for the team, which I'll share here too😁

Overall, I'm very excited for "Liquid Glass" and to watch how it evolves. I love how vibrant it isβ€”it allows for more colourful designs without being too much.

In some examples, I think the refraction is a little too high and the blur a little too low but those are minor details that can be tweaked

Congratulations on the launch! The amount of polish and care is inspiringβ€”an ideal we should strive for!

I've been debating buying the Krusty Burger Lego set that just came out. This feels like a sign.

I created a "group" chat on Discord that I am alone in, and I share anything I want to keep for later there. Works well for me :)

With the help they're getting at Running Back, it should be even easier for him next season too!

I knew he was good but not that good! Both amazing receivers
