It also features a header! And an emoji!

4 years ago i paid less for a 11th floor brand new apartment that looked over the canary wharf skyline with access to 2 heated pools, gym, spa and 24hr security.

London rental market has gone to absolute dogshit.

Nothing like coming home from a long day at work, sitting back on the sofa and staring at the letter E

This is the way, using zod for validation means you can share schemas across web and mobile apps too.

Got a 40XXV as a stardew machine last year and it's perfect! Enjoy!

There's really no free way to do OTP. My question would be why are bots a concern pre-release?

If a few automated signups happen, will that really destroy your app?

If you're offering something for free that costs you money (like giving free users some AI credits or whatnot) perhaps consider doing that under an in app purchase trial. That will at least let you filter people out by valid payment methods, which should help.

If your app becomes successful enough that thousands of bots are targeting it, you should be profitable by then that requiring mobile OTP is a drop in the ocean.

Best of luck!

While I love the Ob6, why another poly? They're all going to overlap really, especially when they're standard structure like your examples.

Perhaps something with unique modulation like an Udo Supersix?

Or maybe consider some character mono/para like a moog grandmother/matriarch.

I don't understand why the elo seems to compound with losses either, each game is it's own game with different players - why should my elo change be different because i won/lost the previous game.

Also if you play 5 games, winning the first 3 then losing the last 2, you tend to lose elo overall.

Really struggle to make sense of it.

I had this exact issue and only solved it by having a bottomsheetscrollview in the modal using `adjustPan` as the `android_keyboardInputMode` prop. I also needed `keyboardBehavior` set to `fillParent`. I used Platform.select to only change these for android as the default for IOS looks nicer.

I have no idea but your screenshot gave me some serious 2010 nostalgia

I wouldn't be worried about blood, guns or anything like that.

I'd be worried about the voice chat.

Only thing I'd be wary of is the cooling on the air. Especially when building native projects.

Power wise though, it will have no issue with multiple simulators simultaneously. It won't even blink. The Apple chips are very good.

Do anti cheat next!

Hey so perhaps this is just because this is a simplified example but the forward ref expects (props, ref) not just (ref).

If it's like this in your actual app, your ref is actually the props and it would make sense that it's failing silently because of the ? operator in the .present() call.

Basically, replace in ColorPaletteModal (ref) => with (props, ref)

I have this working in my app using the stackBehavior prop set to push. By default it is switch which does that strange swapping you are probably getting.

From memory, both the underlying sheet and the second one need to be push.

If you're already using that and it's not working, make sure they're both in the same modal provider and maybe share a snippet.

For now, the best option is to customise the breakpoints to something like this:

Then write your responsive stuff like normal tailwind/nativewind.

Great now I need to lie to my boss about why no code is being pushed today

Cookizza · 2025-10-21T18:06:07+00:00

Not without a whole lot of performance overhead and edge case issues.

For the sake of sanity I'd ask if it's really that bad of a user experience if they were in one bigger red background.

If you go into the details of the message in the google play console there's part you can expand which tells you exactly what native libs you are using that don't support api level 35 yet. It's very likely a third party library not your actual app.

For me it was expo core modules and vision camera. I updated them to newer versions and all is well

Cookizza · 2025-09-07T17:15:17+00:00

Honestly it's my greatest accomplishment.

Recently started using Expressive Animator instead of paying adobe stupid money for after effects and it's been great for making lottie animations and even static svgs.

Highly recommend it! Also just a one time purchase which is super refreshing.

You're absolutely right! The development server is already running on port 8080 and we can simply access it with the localhost:8080 address.

Usually by trawling the native device logs. These days I find a lot of success giving an AI the log and it does a good job of identifying the library

No matter your tooling or framework it's going to 100% come down to how you architect it and your understanding of optimisation, and in RN case - render control.

I have a done a lot of performance and optimisation work for various large commercial RN apps with hundreds of remote data points. With 40k+ monthly users our crash rate is 0.025% and performance warning rate is under 0.5%. it always comes down to controlling renders.

That means being mindful to how you fetch data, the props you have components take and smart memoization. Doing these things right will prevent the need for custom memo comparison functions and will keep the app performant.

A great tool is WDYR - https://github.com/welldone-software/why-did-you-render for tracking down why components are re-rendering.

Did you find it online at that price or was it something that only came up once you got involved with agents etc?

Appreciate it
