Heyo exciting news! Just released my react-native-godot library to... the world! Available on npm, just `yarn add react-native-godot` and you’re (almost) good to go :) Basically, you can embed any Godot projects on iOS (Android coming soon) into your React Native app, It supports multiple Godot views at the same time, full styling (you get flex box multiple Godot views and update their layout dynamically) Still pretty early but I think it’s already enough to hack around with it. If you have any questions or issues feel free to dm me. Alsoo, give us a star on Github if you support the initiative 😊show more

Bone Tide is officially out on the App Store... and Google Play 🎉 The React Native Expo version runs on the exact same TypeGPU engine as the Web game, shared 1:1 between both platforms. Only the UI was ported to React This was made possible by some amazing work across the React Native open source ecosystem. Huge thanks to William Candillon for react-native-webgpu and for always helping me resolve any issues incredibly quickly :D I think it’s a pretty cool showcase of what can be built with React Native nowadays. More details about the libraries used in the 🧵 featuring what might be the ultimate Software Mansion stack iOS: Android: Web:show more

A Midjourney engineer just open-sourced a way to lay... out entire web pages without CSS. Not a framework. Not a library that wraps the DOM. A pure TypeScript text measurement algorithm that bypasses browser reflow entirely. 600x faster. Why it matters: AI-generated interfaces need to lay out text dynamically. The browser wasn't built for that. CSS reflow was designed for humans writing static pages, not agents generating UIs on the fly. This exists because agents need rendering that doesn't depend on a 30-year-old pipeline. The AI-era stack is being rebuilt from scratch. One library at a time. P.S. Such a fun to play with that!show more

A guy in Vancouver built an entire operating system... inside a Chrome tab. By himself. Over six years. His personal website is the OS. You open and a Windows-style desktop loads. File explorer. Start menu. Taskbar. You can drag in a zip and extract it. You can play DOOM. You can play Quake III Arena. You can boot Linux from an ISO. You can run Stable Diffusion locally for image generation. You can open a Python terminal. You can edit code in Monaco, the same engine that powers VS Code. All of it runs in your browser tab. Nothing installs. His name is Dustin Brett. Self-taught engineer. Father. Husband. 4,473 commits. All his. He had to swap the Windows icon for the π symbol because of legal pressure. The repo has 12,883 stars. MIT license. His hosting bill is one dollar a month. A single Cloudflare CDN does the rest. This is what the open web was built for. (Link in the comments)show more

React Native now has its own shadcn/ui equivalent —... introducing 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗨𝗜. If you love the flexibility of copying customisable components directly into your project (avoiding heavy, dependency-laden packages), NativeUI is designed for you. 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗨𝗜 offers beautifully crafted, accessible components tailored for React Native, following the same copy-paste philosophy as shadcn/ui. Built with 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱 for fast, declarative, and flexible styling optimised for React Native. ➡️ 𝗖𝗼𝗽𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 — no black-box dependencies required. ➡️ 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁, supporting screen readers and keyboard navigation, and designed to align with native iOS and Android UX patterns. ➡️ 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗨𝗜 without rebuilding common elements like buttons, inputs, or sliders from scratch. ➡️ 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀, but not yet integrated with Tamagui’s styling system (future support may be planned). ➡️ 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱 — though you’ll need to wire it up manually using Tailwind variables, context providers, and config files. Note: The term “install” in the documentation refers to using the shadcn CLI (e.g., npx shadcn@latest add component) to fetch and copy component code into your project, not adding a package to your dependencies. NativeUI isn’t a plug-and-play library; it’s a lightweight toolbox that empowers you to shape your UI with precision and control.

Britney Spears spotted for the first time since restaurant... incident. The pop star was photographed Thursday afternoon leaving a pet store in Thousand Oaks, CA. She looked carefree, hopping into the passenger seat of her black Mercedes G-Wagon with her driver. This comes one day after reports of a chaotic dinner at Blue Dog Tavern in Sherman Oaks, where witnesses described her yelling, barking, and walking with a knife. Britney’s rep called the story “ridiculous” and overblown — saying she was simply telling a story about her dog barking at neighbors and was only using the knife to cut her hamburger. No one was endangered. How do you think Britney is doing lately — and is the media treating her fairly? (Video: AI)show more

004/100 Buttons. A bit of the process on building... an animation. When looking at a finished animation or in this example a finished button, it can look quite complex inside the CSS. But when building it, it’s more like a lot of simple steps, one after another. Here I had the idea to make some kind of text animation like the footer logo on the Osmo site. I try to add the base animation with no complex easing, for example transition: translate 0.4s ease. Starting with just moving the one text from bottom to top and the other text to top. Adding a stagger, play around with it. Searching for a way to make it more circular. On the research I found the sin() function inside CSS which can build a more smooth non linear curve for the stagger which creates this circular effect. And step by step adding more complexity like, different easing for hover/hover-out, opacity, 3D transform and more. I use also the sin() function to rotate the letters, so the middle ones are getting more rotated than the outer ones. Another thing which helps is to add a small delay on hover, for example 0.05s or 0.1s, you don’t really see the difference, but when you hover pretty fast on and out it doesn’t get that jumpy. I’m using here GSAP’s SplitText to split every char into spans. And then I’m adding a CSS index variable to every span, starting from the center. SplitText can provide CSS index variables, but you cannot tell it from which direction. For the sin() it’s also important to have a max length, so I add another CSS variable with the max char number on it. Crafting 100 Buttons with Osmo ⏳ Total time: 63hshow more

It wasn’t public. I got access to a Stake... Mines setup through a streamer colleague who’s been around that ecosystem for a while. At first it didn’t look like anything special. No crazy wins. No “10x sessions.” Just sessions that looked… the same every time. That’s what caught my attention 👀 After going through it, one thing became clear: It’s not a predictor. It doesn’t try to guess where mines are — everything is already defined before the round starts. → how many tiles to open → where to stop → how to react after wins/losses No decisions in the moment 🧠 Most people don’t lose because of bad luck. They lose because of how they play. Chasing losses. Increasing risk after wins. Staying in too long. This removes that layer completely ⚙️ Still testing it, but the concept itself is interesting. Not about beating the game — just removing chaos from how it’s played. #Stake #Mines #CryptoCasino #RiskManagement #Stakepredictorshow more

Contact sheet prompting is the hottest AI video technique... right now 🤯 If you've seen this technique blowing up, here's why it works: You feed AI one image, and it generates a grid of consistent shots—same face, same outfit, different angles and poses. Instant storyboarding. Full creative control. No reshoots. But doing it manually is brutal: → Write the prompt from scratch → Generate the contact sheet → Crop each frame by hand → Feed frames into a video model one at a time → Repeat for every single product That's hours of work per campaign. This n8n automation handles everything: → Upload a character image + product image → AI analyzes both and writes the contact sheet prompt → Nano Banana Pro generates a 6-frame grid → System extracts each frame automatically → Kling 2.5 creates smooth transitions between frames → 5 video clips land in Airtable ready to use No manual cropping. No frame-by-frame prompting. No tedious busywork. What you get in Airtable: - AI-generated creative prompt - Hero image (model + product) - Full 6-frame contact sheet - 5 cinematic video clips - Approval gates before each step All inside n8n + Airtable. Contact sheet prompting on complete autopilot. I recorded a 20-minute Loom showing exactly how I built this.

A 19 year old Chinese student controls an AI... security system from his bed through Telegram. Types one message on his phone, the device across the room wakes up, starts watching and reports back to him like an employee. While American companies charge $100 for a Ring camera plus $4 a month for cloud, this kid spent $10 once and built something smarter. He sent a Telegram message: open maixcam and notify me if a person detected. One second later his phone buzzed back. Green checkmark. Status: Active. Monitoring: Person detection enabled. Notifications: Telegram ready. His roommate laughed. Said a $10 device can't do real security. Then someone walked past the door. The phone buzzed instantly. Person detected. Class: person. Confidence: 92.00%. Position: (120, 80). Size: 100x150. Not a blurry photo 45 seconds later like Amazon cameras. Exact data in under 1 second. What it saw, how sure it is, where the person is standing, how big they are. All through a Telegram message. He built the whole thing with Claude Code in one weekend. The AI runs directly on the device, no cloud, no subscription, no internet needed after setup. 10MB of memory. Boots in 1 second. Camera sees, chip thinks, Telegram delivers. Posted a 17 second demo. GitHub exploded. 7,400 stars in 2 days. But person detection was just the demo. A developer in Tokyo forked it and pointed it at his front door. Telegram alert with a photo every time a delivery arrives. A mom in Seoul pointed it at her baby's crib. Gets a message when the baby stands up. A business owner in Shenzhen bought 6 for $60 total, mounted them around his warehouse and replaced a $200 a month security service. His entire security system is now a Telegram group chat with 6 AI cameras. Someone commented under the GitHub repo: I'm a senior engineer at a home security company. We have a team of 8 working on person detection. This 19 year old did it alone with Claude Code on a $10 device and it works better than our product. The student isn't a machine learning engineer. He's a second year CS student who wanted to know when his roommate eats his snacks. Claude Code wrote the detection model, the Telegram bot, the alert system and the boot sequence. He just described what he wanted. The roommate who laughed now has one pointed at his own shelf. Same device, same code, same Telegram bot. He stops losing snacks. The student stops losing sleep. Everyone is paying $100 for smart cameras with $4 monthly subscriptions. China is building the same thing for $10 with a Telegram chat and Claude Code. 7,400 stars. One weekend. One student who asked Claude Code to watch his door and accidentally built something better than Ring.show more

Started using React Native two days ago and immediately... fell down a tab-bar rabbit hole. I’d seen Instagram and Revolut collapse their tab bars on scroll while keeping every icon visible. I wanted that without giving up real iOS Liquid Glass. Turns out iOS 26’s public API can’t express that state. UITabBarMinimizeBehavior is an enum of when, not what. With onScrollDown, UIKit minimizes the bar to the active tab alone. There’s no parameter controlling what survives. So most implementations rebuild the visible bar as a custom component. Some use genuine glass materials, but the real UITabBar is gone and with it, the native selection capsule: that little blob that moves like a drop of water between tabs. You can reproduce it with separate springs on the leading and trailing edges. I didn’t want a reproduction. I wanted UIKit’s. Then I remembered a Flutter app i built some months back which uses cupertino_native. Flutter runs the app while a platform-view bridge renders a real UIKit UITabBar. Finding expo-glass-tabs clarified the compact geometry I wanted. The two ideas clicked: why not bridge a real UITabBar into React Native? Here’s the trick: a standalone UITabBar has no UITabBarController managing it, so Apple’s minimization rule never applies. That means I can control its frame and items myself. Expo Router still owns navigation and screen lifecycle. React Native detects scroll direction. Swift removes and restores the real item labels, recentres the icons and animates the native bar’s size. All five icons remain visible. The result keeps Apple’s Liquid Glass, water-drop capsule, hit testing and accessibility, while adding a compact state its public API doesn’t provide. One gotcha tho: detaching the bar means reimplementing everything the controller previously gave you for free. Active-tab reselect scrolling was one exampleshow more

Hold up, here is the prompt: works with almost... any model. enjoy :) Role & Objective: Act as an Elite UI/UX Front-End Engineer specializing in Apple-tier micro-interactions and advanced CSS. Your task is to program a perfectly centered navigation bar in a strictly SINGLE HTML file containing all HTML, vanilla CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. No external libraries or frameworks (No Tailwind, React, etc.). Design Concept - "True Liquid Glass": CRITICAL INSTRUCTION: Do NOT generate standard, flat "glassmorphism" or basic frosted glass. I require a physically accurate "Liquid Glass" aesthetic. It must look like wet, poured clear resin, combining the high-gloss specular highlights of classic macOS Aqua with the volumetric spatial depth of modern Apple VisionOS. 1. The Liquid Glass Material & Lighting (CSS): - Deep Refraction: Use `backdrop-filter` with extreme blur (e.g., 50px) and over-saturation (200%). - Specular Highlight: Create a curved, semi-transparent white gradient on the top half using a pseudo-element (`::before`) to simulate a hard light reflection on a wet, rounded 3D surface. - Caustics & Volume: Use multi-layered inner and outer `box-shadow` properties to simulate light refracting at the bottom edge and casting a realistic ambient drop shadow. - Interactive Glare: Implement a soft radial-gradient spotlight inside the glass that dynamically tracks the user's mouse cursor (X/Y coordinates) using JavaScript and CSS variables (`mix-blend-mode: overlay`). 2. Navigation Layout & Elements: - Center the pill-shaped navigation bar perfectly in the middle of the viewport. - Include 3 main navigation items with minimalist, inline SVG stroke icons and text labels: "Home", "Call", and "List". - Add a subtle vertical divider line after the main buttons. - Next to the divider, add a Dark/Light Mode toggle button containing inline SVG Sun and Moon icons. 3. Animations & "Apple Magic": - Sliding Active Pill: Create a solid background "pill" that sits *behind* the active navigation item's text/icon. When a different item is clicked, this pill must dynamically recalculate its width and slide to the new position. - Spring Physics: The sliding transition MUST use an exact Apple-style bouncy spring easing curve (e.g., `transition: all 0.5s cubic-bezier(0.34, 1.2, 0.64, 1)`). - Tactile Feedback: Buttons and icons must physically press down slightly (`transform: scale(0.92)`) when clicked (`:active`). - Theme Switch: The Sun and Moon icons must smoothly rotate, scale, and cross-fade during the transition. 4. Background Environment (Crucial): - Glass needs light and color to refract! Create a full-viewport, smoothly animated mesh gradient background using 3 large, heavily blurred, floating color blobs. - Implement full Dark/Light mode logic using CSS variables (`:root` and `[data-theme="dark"]`). Toggling the theme must seamlessly transition the background blob colors, glass opacity, shadow intensity, and text colors. Output ONLY the pristine, production-ready code. Prioritize maximum visual fidelity and silky-smooth 60fps animations.show more

After half a decade of creating templates for the... Webflow marketplace, I'm incredibly grateful for this program, which has allowed me to support my family and pursue my dream job for a significant part of my career. I've seen many companies using my templates to speed up their development process. My work has inspired some designers and I've got good and loyal clients. However, not sure why, the marketplace team has suddenly delisted all my main templates, which has decreased my monthly income by 80%. It was a shock. I remain confused about the reason, as I have been a strong supporter of the company since day one, which has given me many negative thoughts, feelings of disappointment, frustration, and anger. I stopped creating templates for them for a while. In the meantime, I created my own marketplace and learn something powerful: If something can go wrong, everything will go wrong. Lost clients, no money, no team, no income, but nothing to lose, since I've lost almost everything already. Even so, I managed to launch an honest MVP, and after reviewing all my templates, those that were living in a limbo, I've decided to offer full access at a huge discount. Now, anyone can get everything I've created all at once, from the top sellers to my favorite out-of-the-box templates. Buy once, build forever. I'm back to Webflow and the Framer templates. Stronger than never.show more

If you’ve ever managed custom icons in React Native,... you know the frustration of choosing between performance and developer experience. Libraries like 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁-𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲-𝘀𝘃𝗴 are flexible but heavy. Every icon creates its own React subtree. The alternative? Manual icon fonts that force you into a constant back-and-forth of using web tools like IcoMoon and syncing font assets every time a design changes. 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝘀 just released 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁-𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲-𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗼-𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀 to solve exactly this. It’s a build-time icon font generator that gives you the performance of native fonts with the flexibility of simple SVG files. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴? Instead of rendering complex vector paths at runtime, this library automatically converts your folder of SVGs into an optimized icon font during the build process. It essentially teaches your app to treat icons like standard text characters, which allows it to bypass React’s component tree and layout engine entirely. ➡️ 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: It handles the entire pipeline—watching your icon folder, converting SVGs to .ttf files, and linking them to your native project automatically. ➡️ 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: Because icons render as native text glyphs, it is significantly faster than traditional SVG rendering, making it the ideal choice for long, scrollable lists or icon-heavy dashboards. ➡️ 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗴 𝗣𝗹𝘂𝗴𝗶𝗻: It features first-class support for Expo, automating the native plumbing like Info.plist updates and asset linking during the prebuild phase. ➡️ 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆: The library generates TypeScript definitions for your icon set, providing full IDE autocomplete and ensuring you never break the UI with a misspelled icon name. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀? In high-performance applications, small overheads add up. By shifting the heavy lifting from the mobile device to your build machine, 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁-𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲-𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗼-𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀 ensures your UI stays buttery smooth while keeping your developer workflow modern. It’s another great example of how 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 continues to solve the "last mile" of performance friction in the ecosystem. Before you migrate your entire library, keep in mind: this is designed for the 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 (Fabric) and requires React Native 0.74 or higher. #ReactNative #Expo #SoftwareMansion #Icons #MobileDev #Performance #DeveloperExperience #OpenSource #JavaScript #TypeScript #SVG #Fabricshow more

Holy shit... Microsoft open sourced an inference framework that... runs a 100B parameter LLM on a single CPU. It's called BitNet. And it does what was supposed to be impossible. No GPU. No cloud. No $10K hardware setup. Just your laptop running a 100-billion parameter model at human reading speed. Here's how it works: Every other LLM stores weights in 32-bit or 16-bit floats. BitNet uses 1.58 bits. Weights are ternary just -1, 0, or +1. That's it. No floats. No expensive matrix math. Pure integer operations your CPU was already built for. The result: - 100B model runs on a single CPU at 5-7 tokens/second - 2.37x to 6.17x faster than llama.cpp on x86 - 82% lower energy consumption on x86 CPUs - 1.37x to 5.07x speedup on ARM (your MacBook) - Memory drops by 16-32x vs full-precision models The wildest part: Accuracy barely moves. BitNet b1.58 2B4T their flagship model was trained on 4 trillion tokens and benchmarks competitively against full-precision models of the same size. The quantization isn't destroying quality. It's just removing the bloat. What this actually means: - Run AI completely offline. Your data never leaves your machine - Deploy LLMs on phones, IoT devices, edge hardware - No more cloud API bills for inference - AI in regions with no reliable internet The model supports ARM and x86. Works on your MacBook, your Linux box, your Windows machine. 27.4K GitHub stars. 2.2K forks. Built by Microsoft Research. 100% Open Source. MIT License.show more
