It sounds like a rewrite of pnpm in Rust has been underway for a while and is planned for v12.
Looks like a 2× speedup! 😲

The talk schedule for App.js Conf is so stacked 🤩
Can't wait to chat with everyone between talks, too.

Tried SimDeck by @buildwithdjdev and @NativeScript, and it’s just so good. A single GitHub Actions workflow streams an iOS simulator or Android emulator straight to your browser, triggered by a PR comment. Free, open source, and framework agnostic. PRs will never be the same.

Yes, my Task Manager alternative comes with a run dialog, complete with command history, autocompletion and more. No, it does not take 94 ms to appear. Computers can be fast!

Mediabunny v1.45.0 now works basically everywhere 🚀
With the new @mediabunny/server extension, you get access to super-fast, hardware-accelerated media decoding and encoding on the server. Inspect, process and transform media on the server without ever leaving TypeScript.
The upcoming @mediabunny/server is able to transcode 1080p videos at around ~9.5x real-time speed on my machine (M4).
The best thing: the majority of the work is done in other threads, meaning the main thread basically sits close to idle at all times!

I'm excited for @birch_js's talk! We need more React Native MacOS apps

@birch_js has been building real-world desktop apps with Expo – React Native macOS, React Native Windows, all of it. At App.js Conf, he'll share what works, what doesn't, and where the ecosystem is headed.
Join us in 2 weeks!

RT @usagimaruma: WebViewだとバウンス／オーバースクロールへの精緻な追従に限界がある。とりあえず及第点に持っていったがこれ以上の磨き込みは難しそう。ネイティブならもっと綺麗にできる。

Doing absolute gods’ work. Living in Japan means carrying a hundred membership cards and having to write your name and address a million times (and God help you if you have a middle name).
Digitising the My Number Card into Apple Wallet is one step towards solving this madness.
So excited to be recognized as a developer community leader by Apple! It’s great to see my friends on the Apple website. I hope we can all gather in #WWDC, or maybe #tryswift, and visit the community someday.

Dedusted my old Raspberry Pi 1B and made it boot straight into my React Native runtime on bare Linux 🎉
No X11. No Wayland.
Just KMS/DRM + EGL + evdev.
Now let’s bring ALSA into the mix ;)

This is all the code that's needed to compress a video on the server while it's being uploaded
Right now it's being written to a file, but you could also stream it to S3 or anywhere else

LegendList is looking ready for a 3.0 release 🎉
It's working well in production in both React and React Native. I caught up on most open issues, closed stale PRs, and merged a few great contributions ❤️.
Does anyone know of anything that should be fixed before I ship 3.0?

I’ve never once heard of Apple doing a performance pass on UIKit or AppKit.
Meanwhile, Microsoft are optimising WinUI3 to improve performance of both modern third-party apps and age-old first-party apps like File Explorer and Notepad.
