The latest superpower unlocked using an LLM (Claude, specifically)... deciphering Crashlytics stack traces for my #reactnative app. I just pasted in a huge pile of gibberish and was able to figure out what looked like a new crash was really some Android user trying to sideload my app 🎯
Thanks for creating this 🙌
I just leaned into it hard, betting on it for the long term. I replaced all of my legacy NativeBase code. Also, I *almost* went with Tamagui and did a shitload of work to convert to it before backing away and choosing GS.
I recommend you pull down their v2 kitchen sink example app: github.com/gluestack/ki...
If you've worked with shadcn and tailwind before on web, it is a very similar workflow and usage. You pull in the components you want into your project, they become part of your source code.
It's a huge difference, v2 is based on NativeWind/Tailwind so it's very easy to compose custom components. It's also more of a "copy/paste" the component and use it model like radix or shad.
Thank you! Followed all...
Just completed my upgrade to new arch. Went smoothly, no issues at all with RNFB!
Thanks for sharing! But... I didn't make the list 😢
The water pressure at my house (and in my entire city). Finally starting to bounce back after 3 days without.
My #reactnative overhaul is done ✅. Stoked to be on the latest of all my dependencies for a change - RN 0.76, Expo 52, Expo Router, react-native-firebase 21, Gluestack w/ NativeWind.
Deployed my first Cloudflare Workers app today. Pretty great developer experience, but with a learning curve since many of the npm SDKs and packages for things like Firebase Admin and SendGrid don't work on the edge runtime.
I needed a new display on my 2021 MacBook Pro M1. Would've been $900+ but AppleCare+ covered it for $0 🙌
Cursor is a sycophant sidekick who, if you don't know any better, will make you think your ideas are all really good, even when they are bad.
I wrote hundreds of unit tests with 95%+ coverage for my #reactnative app. Now, 2 years later, I am refreshing the tech stack and most of the tests will be broken in non-trivial ways. Are unit tests for solo products bad ROI? I think so...
Thanksgiving day food coma wearing off and it's quiet in the house. Feeling a nice late-night coding sesh for the side hustle 💻 🥃 🌙
Spent today looking for a new #reactnative image gallery. The one I've used for years doesn't support landscape orientation and appears to be abandoned. Too bad there isn't an @expo.dev supported gallery yet. I'm going with Galeria from Fernando Rojo for now.
Never underestimate the power of a simple diagram when trying to collaborate on software. Like really simple... boxes and arrows. Less talk-y, more draw-y
No drafts on Bsky is good. Type a post, then send it or discard it, there is no later.
Good to see you/me here!
The perfect UI kit for #reactnative still doesn’t exist. It’s a fragmented ecosystem with no clear winner.

No worries! react-native-firebase is working so far for me in a fresh Expo 52 app... cautiously optimistic and pressing forward with my upgrade.
My #reactnative 0.76 new Architecture playbook:
✅ Scaffold new @expo.dev v52 app
✅ Add react-native-firebase and make sure it works
◻️ Scaffold out my routes w/ Expo Router
◻️ Add NativeWind
◻️ Build a medium complexity react-hook-form with NW
◻️ Port over current code en masse
◻️ Test and ship 🚀
I'm still on a 2021 M1 Pro too... 32GB Ram, 2TB SSD. It's still a workhorse and I have no complaints, but yeah I am tempted to upgrade with the M4!
My #reactnative app is about to get an overhaul and I'm stoked. Upgrading from Expo 50, RN 0.73.6 to Expo 52, RN 0.76 with the new Architecture (hopefully 🤞).
Other goals:
* Move to Expo Router
* Replace NativeBase with NativeWindUI
* Finally launch an iPad and tablet version
Thinking about watching the 2006 film Idiocracy... or do I even need to now?
Well then, can add me to your Starter Pack? 😉
Mike, I was literally hunting through the react-native-firebase docs earlier to see if there was any mention of the new architecture. I'm a longtime user of RNFB, really appreciate your work 🙌
Inspiring story, congrats Grant!
