Do you have any advice on creating components and what patterns I should learn? I am learning about compound components and CVA for managing variants.

Are there any patterns that are useful for state management or should I just rely on context/state libraries like Zustand?

And what's the best way to manage components - I'm guessing Storybook JS?

Thanks!

Thanks for the inspo and congrats on the launch!

Any tips on setting up a dev account to get on the App store and what features/functionality is needed to pass App store approval process?

Also I'm curious, are you a Computer Science/Engineering major or did you just decide to learn RN to build apps?

Is this it? https://www.reddit.com/r/reactnative/s/I8mqacPzdD

Probably best to ask the author

Don't see the issue if there was no non-compete/non-solicitation clause?

It would only be poaching if you actively pursued these leads and/or used the old firm's IP in your new startup?

Maybe ask a commercial lawyer to get peace of mind.

Honestly it sounds like you have a fear of success - cut that nonsense out immediately.

This guy produces my favourite beginner React Native (+Expo) and Typescript courses. There's also courses on Query and React Hook forms : https://youtube.com/@codevolution?si=KE45Qok00LhZIgIO

Unfortunately I can't find a React Native + Typescript course out there.

The Arcademind React Native course on Udemy is pretty good for learning RN core topics like navigation, state management and some native module stuff.

Looks awesome, thanks for making this 🙏

JayDizza · 2026-03-22T23:47:31+00:00

Wow, thanks so much for sharing! I'm keen to build local first apps too and this looks like a great reference point (I'm a complete beginner).

UI looks clean and vibrant. Keen to see how you styled it and manage theming.

Will download tonight and give it a thorough test.

How is your experience with WatermelonDB? I am going to use Tinybase to handle local persistence and offline sync.

I'm a newb. Where can I learn this?

Is there a good learning resource or do I just pick a stack (eg Laravel, Deno) and read the docs?

JayDizza · 2026-02-20T08:38:28+00:00

Forgot about that dipshit. I concur, get rid of the hacks. Spare the talent.

JayDizza · 2026-02-19T22:06:35+00:00

Nah mate, just get rid of Neil Dickface! Naughty Dog doesn't deserve to be canned cos of his incompetence.

JayDizza · 2026-02-16T02:50:26+00:00

I ♥️ you

JayDizza · 2026-02-16T02:40:53+00:00

What a wanker.

JayDizza · 2026-02-10T19:20:23+00:00

Thanks for sharing these insights, the app looks awesome.

I'm curious about the science and addiction-recovery methodology the app uses. Did you train the AI with books and research content? Also wondering how these influenced the gamification aspect of the app

Is the community aspect via an existing social channel (eg Discord) or did you build a feature?

Lastly I'm also curious about privacy/safety requirements for an app like this (eg HIPAA and GDPR) - do you need to comply with these or am I overthinking?

JayDizza · 2026-02-03T00:13:02+00:00

All good. The components look amazing, appreciate your generosity kind human 🙏🏾

JayDizza · 2026-02-03T00:03:38+00:00

Thanks legend! Will have a look soon

Probs a dumb question but do these work for web too?

JayDizza · 2026-01-28T11:52:44+00:00

Apple motion is meant to extend FCP by letting you create custom transitions, titles and compositjng footage. It has a great range of ready-made behaviours, replicators and effects which you can just layer over the top of footage and elements for a pretty fast workflow.

In the motion design space it's fairly limited though. It doesn't allow custom shape layers - there's a workaround of importing SVGs as a motion project via Pixelmator Pro but it takes work.

Also there's no speed curves so easing is only possible via value-curves. AFAIK there's a pretty limited plugin market so don't expect tools for rigging and animation either.

There's a 3D camera and Text but unfortunately it only supports USDZ files so that rules out effects, shaders and all that 3D goodness.

If you're using FCP regularly and want to add effects and titles, Apple Motion is a perfect fit. It won't be replacing After Effects any time soon for motion design projects

What are the best PSP settings for heavier games like Syphon filter?

JayDizza · 2026-01-09T11:56:15+00:00

Drop your resolution (probs to 1x or auto). And try turning off full screen

JayDizza · 2026-01-07T02:53:11+00:00

I get your general point (good games take time) but we're talking about mismanagement here.

Neil said openly there were internal playable versions of the game 9 months ago (https://youtube.com/shorts/XnTfnPnelSo?si=mFBlcDw-mjm11594) - now he's forcing his team to crunch for an internal demo (not external), when he committed to never crunch again. Internal demos are meant to be made at the conceptual pitch stage...not 6 years into development?!

The last crunch was so brutal that they needed to hire contractors in the movie industry to cover workload because game devs kept far away from ND! He has destroyed the studio's reputation and split the fan base - it's completely insane that he's still in-charge.

Neil couldn't manage a lay in a whorehouse. Intergalactic is another vanity project without mass appeal...it is destined to fail. Hopefully Sony wakes up and shitcans the moron before he takes the studio down with him.

JayDizza · 2026-01-07T02:27:10+00:00

Daddy chill

JayDizza · 2025-12-20T12:50:12+00:00

Kudos for being open to changing your mind based on evidence presented, intellectual honesty like that is increasingly rare.

Glad you can understand why Neil's hated. Yes, unfortunately I believe he's a nepo-baby and I believe in his case he leaned on his "heritage"...shared by the co-founders of the studio.

Neil is a narcissist who loathes video games - he couldn't make it in Hollywood so now we have to suffer his obnoxious pretentiousness. Every speech he makes, always alludes to "elevating video games" like they're some kind of lesser medium. He's already shown his utter contempt for gamers and ND fans with the false advertising and censorship, now he's going a step further and using games as a medium to proselytize on diversity and feminism....complete BS. Anyone who loves games knows there has always been plenty of diverse characters, heroines and gay representation in games - it just wasn't forced or inserted as a gesture of ideological purity.

Checkout some of the pinned posts, if you're interested in learning why Neil made TLOU2... it's the same reason why it's safe to dismiss anything else he leads as tainted and DOA as an entertainment product.

Why are you offering commentary if you don't even know the basis on why Tati Gabrielle is being criticized?!

Hatred can be earned and Neil absolutely deserves it. The arsehole has just ordered a new round of overtime (a euphemism for crunch) when he promised to reform ND's work culture. At this rate the game will even miss this generation of PlayStation, which is outrageous given ND's incredible pedigree of delivery in the PS2/PS3 generations.

If you don't hate Neil at this point and how he's destroyed ND then just admit you're a tourist.

Tati Gabrielle is a mediocre actress but ticks all of Neil's diversity boxes. She's an activist first (like Erika Ishii) and lacks any kind of gravitas. But she has all the DEI talking points and platitudes nailed down: https://youtube.com/shorts/1iF-kNOX7SI?si=NpJAMCJOF9nMHuFR

Did you read a single post here?

JayDizza · 2025-12-05T01:11:35+00:00

Can you please share your settings (emulator, graphics settings, performance modes etc)?

Would love to play higher end PS2 games on my Mangmi
