@PawelJLisowski @skeptrune Reviewing has always been about these - along with testing the changes. Reviewing often requires _more_ context than generating a change

Wish @expo router data loaders were available for native routing. Feels like a pattern that could work in tandem with a loading component or useLoaderState hook

@thymikee Were the tests ran sequentially? Or shard/parallel?

@reactiive_ I’m curious your thoughts on this vs other Maestro compatible alternatives like github.com/devicelab-dev/…

How are folks fetching data in their React Native apps these days? I’ve been using TanStack Query + GQL for a while. It’s worked but it’s been feeling a bit awkward as of late and I’m looking for new ideas! #reactnative #graphql

@peterpme Interesting! In some Apple apps I’ve seen close button on right when there’s no action/back.

@HAJBlack @schanuelmiller I think that’s what server routes are for, right?

@birch_js Yep it’s awful. The answer is sometimes “go back and watch this WWDC video from 2019”

@leymytel @Baconbrix React Native Storybook has come a long way. I’d try giving it a go!

Feeling the pain of this one - there’s not (yet) a new version of #reactnative to upgrade to 😭

There is critical vulnerability in React Server Components disclosed as CVE-2025-55182 that impacts React 19 and frameworks that use it. A fix has been published in React versions 19.0.1, 19.1.2, and 19.2.1. We recommend upgrading immediately. react.dev/blog/2025/12/0…

Sincere question: why are #reactnative versions pinned to specific minor/patch versions of React? I.e. RN 81 checks for React 19.1.0. Trying to use React 19.2.0 results in version mismatch errors 🤔

@thymikee Makes sense, thank you!! We’re updating a monorepo and I need to tell devs why they have to wait a little bit for useEffectEvent 😂

@jasongaare Yeah we got halfway down the path of upgrading before realizing we could extend 🥲 Figured might as well finish since the knowledge was fresh!

Okay updating our app to support #android 16KB page size was definitely not something we should’ve waited on 😅 We’re stuck on RN 77/Expo 52/React 18 for the moment, so getting things working was interesting!
