Many will say otherwise but the most accurate answer is that it’s short for “Xtreme Reality” - for example, if you look at a car, it will add flames to the side. Look at your dad - bleached blonde tips. Stuff like that.

My exact case was something like this: I've made a bunch of style libraries for web (my latest is Tamagui). The one before Tamagui was similar, it had variants and a `styled` helper, but it didn't output to "atomic CSS".

IMO Make it work, make it right, make it fast is a bit off. Often the "fast" part is very intertwined with the "right/work" part. You can make it work/right and then realize you designed the core data structure

This model ends up with a sort of db-per-user/team model no? My questions are around that. Are there good solutions for migrations? Has anyone made it relatively easy to handle in terms of deploy/scale/manage?

It’s a great idea. I’d want even faster though, GitHub Actions are quite a bit slower than my Air M2. If you spun up a fleet of top of the line Hetzner boxes I’d expect it’d be 100% faster than actions. 30% faster for half cost is just a bi

Cool, thanks Naman. It’s really great work overall, congrats on the launch. Maybe those couple places could have wording that indicates it supports dynamic as well.

Can you link me to how you know that? The docs seem to indicate it doesn't: "Since StyleX depends on ahead-of-time compilation, it is important for all your styles to be statically analyzable" "No runtime style injection

Twitter was the canonical radical/activist political tech co before the new owner, featuring all sorts of suppression and biasing. It’s not any more or less now, probably less overall since it seems to be avoiding more suppression, it’

I got the impression it was not dynamic values? Just that you can combine static objects dynamically. If I’m wrong I’ll re read the docs but someone else pointed that out to me and linked part of the docs that seemed to indicate that.

StyleX is compiler-time only, so yes misses out on dynamic styles. I made Tamagui a hybrid of compile and runtime, where the optimizing compiler actually handles object spreads, conditional logic, and even cross-module imports. It's re

Try out Tamagui which solves this - child and media selectors, even container queries and stuff like container + pseudo.

Actually the green is far less saturated, making it less contrasting with the white text, making it look much worse.

Sounds like you sort of agree, given you agree with my back office caveat. Sure it's some percent, maybe even a third of apps that could get by with that, but it's far from the majority. I can point to a ton of RN apps that have i

by nwienert 3y ago
The experience of said apps just doesn’t hold a candle to RN or native apps. People can tell the difference, for all but your sort of back office type apps you’ll want native views.

I don’t think this is so true anymore now that you have such huge investment by the likes of Shopify, with many slick libraries, or for example Reanimated which makes very bespoke and interactive animations performant. Add something like my

Heh, I did the opposite migration due to SwiftUI :) we ran into some completely blocking bugs where we couldn’t work around them. Plus managing data with their observables are so hard to work with.

Not true if you use Tamagui, which has a very smart optimizing compiler and emits near optimal web code utilizing all the platform features. Flutter is sort of dying, it works for games or Android only apps, but anything with web or iOS wil

It’s incredibly popular and imo has been having a bit of a resurgence as Meta has reinvested into it more heavily in the last couple years. Evan Bacon does some tweets on it, but it’s one of the most popular libraries when you filter for to

If building a product takes a few months, and years of ongoing work, then the 2 weeks delay in submitting should round to 0 in terms of effect on your decision to go native or not unless there's some incredibly hard deadline.

PWA definitely have their place, but the UX is unquestionably far worse. I’d say though that I’d actually choose Tamagui and native if I was going for speed to ship. Even if building a PWA, Tamagui is a great way with components designed fo

I agree it’s way too complex, it’s a problem I’m working on actively. I’d like to first help https://vxrn.dev find some consistent contributors and get it stable. And then I ported Expo Router to work with it, so shared single f

Lost 35 (I didn't start too high so this was all I needed), and actually side effects almost entirely positive. Stopped all smoking, better quality sleep, less immune system issues.
