Looks like a nice thorough introduction article for people new to Tamagui

It may be a patch release but 1.89.22 has a lot: - Fix bug with initial render with Expo Router starter - Fix multiple issues in Metro plugin - Fix useTheme type for fallback tokens - 💪 experimentalFlattenThemesOnNative fixes

As someone who consistently ships mobile apps, and if anyone needs reassurance, React Native is in AMAZING shape atm. It just seems like most of the issues of the past are resolved. Navigation, build, animations, performance, all of it. Most importantly, it’s nice to see @expo becoming increasingly viable. I was one of the people that would only use Expo to prototype. Expo has solved navigation and build/delivery remarkably well. Two very difficult issues. Not to mention making RN upgrades much easier. If I sit down and list the amazing companies making RN amazing, I’d run out of space. What an incredible ecosystem. Thank you @Meta @ShopifyEng @swmansionxyz @callstackio @expo @Microsoft off the top of my head. You made it possible for devs and founders like me to bet on a technology everyone else was insulting, and win. Even libraries and frameworks like @tamagui_js and others. Now let’s fix KeyboardAvoidingView and debugging, and then we’re golden. Massive improvements in debugging lately btw, but we’re not there yet.

More red looks a bit better:

Tamagui style, fully typed! Some cool features: ✔️ Make as many typed named groups as you want ✔️ Combine with `-sm` to turn into a container query ✔️ Combine with `-hover` and other pseudo selectors

SSR just works with Tamagui, even if you: - Use fancy media queries - Use container queries - Support light and dark mode - useTheme or useMedia - Have spring animations with mount animations The last point btw - isn’t supported by any web-only style library.

Happy lunar new year 🧧

Thank you for the team sponsorship @ourZORA ❤️ 🙌

WIP of a stacked card history view for @askaiden_ai really enjoy @tamagui_js so far!

We're excited to be working with Andrew on native adaptations for every Tamagui component. More coming 🔜

We started a new universal app with @tamagui_js (Expo + Next). Reusing 90% of your code between mobile and web feels as exhilarating as when I discovered I can share code between iOS and Android using RN. 2024 is the year of universal apps.

Headless Switch and Checkbox are out now now - the first two fully headless components. v1.89.0 features: 👻 headless switch 👻 headless checkbox 🚀 themes/v3 === <50% the CSS size 🤓 tamagui.buil​d.ts github.com/tamagui/tamagui/r…

If only targeting web, you can also use @tamagui/web to drop the React Native props and save another ~10Kb

This is something we need to figure out how to message better! We've added docs on the main introduction page, and a new "Core" introduction page here: tamagui.dev/docs/core/introd…

- A huge superset of the Style API with many goodies you expect on the web like container queries. - No dependency on React Native Web at all❌ for extremely small bundle sizes. - All features work compile-time and runtime and optimize away with the compiler.

Did you know that Tamagui Core has no dependencies outside of React? In about ~26Kb you get: - The full React Native View/Text API which provides some really nice normalization of layout events and gestures. 👇
