We also talked about how React Native, on paper, seems to have a superior OTA UX to Flutter. You can have the update be applied on next launch, or even block startup on it if you want. Whereas in Shorebird, applying the update requires an explicit “exit now to install” action.

CC @_eseidel in case we have any misunderstandings about Shorebird OTA here, or in case any improvements on this front are planned.

Last night I presented a React Native talk in Japanese for #ReactNativeJP at AWS Loft!
It's the first time I've ever had an in-person talk recorded! Thanks everyone for the warm reception.

I've been doing most of my React Native UI dev inside a WebView lately, so I got thrown off when coming back to <View> and <Text>.
`overflow: scroll` doesn't make a scroll container, there are view- and text-only styles, no logical properties (block/inline), no style cascade…

The biggest DX gap, I think, is how `overflow: scroll` works. It actually controls view clipping, not scrolling. You want scrolling? You need a <ScrollView>.
I assume it's complex to handle at the platform level because it entails swapping between a UIView and a UIScrollView.

Funnily enough, TextKit is so powerful that you could probably have <Text> just handle everything on its own. It already supports both block and inline layout. If it could behave as a scroll container as well, we'd have all the key features of <div> 🤔
More progress on native <div> for macOS AppKit or iOS UIKit, based on TextKit 2. 👨🔬
Here I render an NSButton inline in an editable NSTextView. 5 seconds into this recording, my timer fires and we set `max-width: 50px` on the NSButton. It resizes itself and reflows the text. 🎯

Working on my React Native ebook reader again. I now render my popup dictionary as a native view to work around WebKit issues.
I use all the New Architecture tricks (setNativeProps(), synchronous measure(), useLayoutEffect()) to determine the best area to lay out the popup! 🧐

You don't need these Rollup plugins anymore. @rolldown_rs makes them obsolete.
Built-in support for:
◆ rollup/plugin-node-resolve
◆ rollup/plugin-json
◆ rollup/plugin-commonjs
First class options:
◆ rollup/plugin-alias - Use `resolve.alias`
◆ rollup/plugin-inject - Use `transform.inject`
◆ rollup/plugin-terser - Use `output.minify` for a better, oxc-based minifier
Native plugins:
◆ rollup/plugin-replace - Use `import { replacePlugin } from 'rolldown/experimental'`
◆ rollup/plugin-dynamic-import-vars - Use `import { dynamicImportVarsPlugin } from 'rolldown/experimental'`
8 plugins replaced by zero-config built-ins or native equivalents.

How on earth is Rozenite able to inject additional panels into React Native DevTools without forking the whole thing? This secret is no longer a secret. I wrote a short walkthrough of the method. Happy reading!

If I learned anything as a Smart TV web app developer, it's that GUI implementation becomes a lot easier when you have exactly one screen size to support

@DevtoolsFM I don’t know if it’s a bug in the Apple Podcasts app, but when I try to stream today’s Dana Lawson episode, I’m hearing the audio for the last episode with Fabian Hiller. Has there been a mis-upload or something?

CC @zephraph @just_be_dev I think it’s indeed a misupload – same problem when I listen to the episode directly on the website.
