A technically interesting challenge when building Pengu was generating transparent images for each user’s unique Pengu. With over 350 clothing items and countless possible combinations, plus varying device sizes, pre-generating images in the cloud quickly became infeasible. To solve this, we moved the computation to the device itself by...

One of the most important features for Pengu was the ability to download and launch different games (Godot pck's) on the fly. Under the hood, our React Native Godot library manages the entire Godot lifecycle: stopping, cleaning up, and starting a new instance with a different pck. Everything happens within milliseconds, without restarting the app.

While you debate if you should switch to native, I've implemented iOS Gallery zoom interaction, using React Native and Expo, and feels incredibly smooth. Recreating this was living in my head over 4 years without paying, now I think it's a good time to show what’s possible. It’s funny that we still have this React Native vs. native discussion from the early times of it. React Native doesn’t stop you from building a performant app, and going fully native doesn’t automatically give you performant apps either. You can build performant, delightful things with React Native.

We’re open-sourcing React Native Godot this Sunday. After a year of testing, polishing, and making it scalable across all the different Android devices. Over the next few days, we’ll share all the different features we’ve built and best practices on how to use them. We built much of Pengu’s core functionality on top of this library, and it opened up a whole new world of possibilities for us. I can’t wait to see what you’ll all build with it!

For our new product, we built a chat in React Native that feels like iMessage Here's how we did it: ① Fabric Swift View ② UICollectionView ③ SwiftUI cells via UIHostingConfiguration React is responsible for the state - mutations, fetching, infinite loading - all via React Query. The native Fabric view is purely for rendering. React decides what to show, native decides how to show it The bridge between three frameworks was tricky but worth it. UICollectionView animations come for free and scroll performance is native-smooth No blank spaces and no FPS drops - all powered by the New Architecture Who wants to see the code?

We built this onboarding flow in React Native that feels better than most native apps Here’s how we did it: ① Patched react-native-screens for a custom transition ② Button and stepper are rendered on top of the stack ③ Synced button state across screens via context The button and header are positioned absolutely above the stack. When a screen focuses, it updates the shared button state (text, disabled state) via context The hardest part is keeping the keyboard open during screen transitions. We solved it with hidden TextInputs that get focused programmatically before navigating The result: one button flows across every screen and surfs the keyboard

Build uncompromising high-performance, high-fidelity apps with React. What you see is not the Apple Messages app, nor is it meant to be 1:1. Rather it serves as an aspirational and real example of UI/UX that is possible. Every detail from the bubble animations to keyboard gestures to scroll view insets and safe areas to parallax timestamps required care and attention. Quality UIs come from caring hard. The little chat bubble tails that morph away when the next message animates in. Timestamps that scroll at a different rate than the bubbles. Peek gestures powered by UIKit that lift a chat bubble, tail and all, with a gentle haptic pulse. The subtle shadow of the text composer and responsively sliding down the keyboard in pixel-perfect concert. The composer shrinking its width to fit iPhone’s rounded bezel. The beautiful Liquid Glass refractions have the level of glassiness chosen by the user (new in iOS 27). Scroll view insets that adjust to fit the home bar and keyboard dynamically, creating a sense of depth as the chat bubbles are slightly visible as they scroll under the keyboard. Keeping the keyboard on screen if the prior screen already presented it. Sliding the keyboard and composer with the screen when the user drags to navigate back. I am excited to explore using the new iPhone Duo view controllers natively with React when the time comes. There is always room for innovation and improvement. This chat demo runs at 120 FPS on iOS 27 even on my phone that’s four versions old now. There are several approaches to high-performance lists. I explored a new Expo scroll view that uses the native gesture systems along with react-native’s VirtualView (codenamed “Fling” to reflect the speed of flinging a scroll view), which Meta’s React team designed to prioritize scroll momentum with React’s scheduler. There are tradeoffs with other scroll strategies for how the scroll views gracefully degrade, and they can be swapped out based on what’s best for your app’s use case. And, by virtue of using modern React, high-priority events like user gestures can preempt lower-priority ones like a network response. Let us dispel any myth that using React requires compromising on beautiful, smooth, user-friendly UI/UX that Uses the Platform. Let us dispel any myth frame-perfect UI coordination is not achievable. The Hermes thread and the UI thread can coordinate when needed, like for controlled text inputs. Let us dispel any myth that React Native’s performance is impacted by a bridge, let alone has a bridge. Bridgeless JSI and the Fabric renderer are here for apps that use the New Architecture. What about Android? The app runs and I’ll share a screenshot from my cloud agent’s emulator. With some attention to detail dedicated to Android I’m confident crafted UX is attainable. I’ve spent my tokens once and have a structural head start everywhere. One more thing! Most of this chat’s application code is written with , , , and other familiar elements. The styling is mostly CSS, including linear-gradient(), background-attachment: fixed, and semantic platform colors that adapt to dark mode. Not just appearance - CSS Animations and CSS Transitions run entirely natively. There are a handful of custom native components written in Swift and Kotlin, like the chat bubbles and a custom CAShapeLayer and UIBezierPath for the tails. Native coding is a first-class feature. The way to think about building beautiful apps this way is React and Native, not React vs. Native. Aspire high and raise your ambitions for what is possible!

AG-UI makes building agentic applications dramatically easier. Here's how it works. This is a model for a simple chatbot: User → LLM → Response But interactive agents that render UI, pause for approvals, and ask users for input need a much more complex model. When building these agents, a response from the LLM will include a series of state changes as the agent runs: • Agent started a task • Agent called a tool • Agent updated its state • Agent streams these tokens • Agent is waiting on a human • Agent is resuming the task The Agent-User Interaction Protocol (AG-UI) treats the LLM response as a stream of events rather than a text endpoint. In practice, here is what you get as an agent runs: 1. Lifecycle events so your UI knows where the agent is. 2. Text messages that stream tokens. 3. Tool calls so your UI can prefill a form with any required arguments. 4. State updates that keep your UI in sync with the agent. 5. Special events for human approvals, rich media, and custom needs. All of these events travel over standard transports (SSE, WebSockets, or plain HTTP) as JSON. As a result, you can build a frontend that stays in sync with the agent's progress without having to invent a custom process to make this happen. For example, building a human-in-the-loop workflow becomes an off-the-shelf component you can integrate rather than build from scratch. CopilotKit🪁 is the creator of AG-UI, and you can use it when building frontend applications pretty much anywhere: • React • Angular • Vue • React Native • Slack • Teams • Discord • WhatsApp • Telegram Here is the link for you to check it out: Thanks to the CopilotKit team for partnering with me on this post.

Introducing proof of concept React Imgui! The name is a joke, but it is accurate enough. In the last few days I have been working on a prototype of React driving Dear ImGui using Static Hermes. The result is a fully native app written almost entirely in JavaScript, using unmodified React, typed JS, plus a very small amount of glue C++ code and unmodified Dear ImGui and Sokol. The actual renderer translating React into Dear ImGui is written entirely in typed JS using zero-cost FFI. Of course this wouldn't be possible without React's great design and flexibility. I find it really fascinating that I was able to take literally unmodified React, write a little extra JS, and get a functional fully native app so quickly. Of course everything is unoptimized, and prototype code quality, and who knows how buggy, but it seems to work well enough. Please, watch the video to see it in action. If there is interest, I will write a more detailed article.

When the way software is built changes, we help companies adopt it. For over a decade, that meant bringing React Native to production across mobile, web, desktop, and TV. Now we are expanding that same mission to AI-native engineering: helping teams ship software with agents, safely and at scale. This is our new manifesto.

The biggest bottleneck in screen time blocker apps has been completely removed What took over 1 month and 4 forms for Ernesto Lopez and Mau Baron now takes just 1-7 days max and 1 form Now you just have to file a single form within the link below took me 1 prompt with rork max since it uses swiftui (apple's native language) this feature has insane leverage however within react native this can be very buggy

Let me share a long-awaited behind-the-scenes video of how Simulon works. It all starts with setting up a scene. You set the location, lighting conditions and capture the light map with a few turns. After that, you can capture the environment mesh using the Lidar scanner. That's the moment the fun begins. You can bring in your #3D models with animations and capture a video of up to 50" using the #AR preview on screen. After that is done, you send the footage to the cloud and in a couple of minutes you get back an incredible #CGI shot. And this is just the beginning. Follow Gabriele Romagnoli to see how Simulon integrates with #Blender and in a full #VFX workflow. A special thanks to Divesh Naidoo for sharing early access and for building something 🤯

With Atlas, you can literally make films. And it also basically solves first-frame-last-frame transitions. Reconstruct a 3D scene from images, then position the camera exactly where you want it, and let Atlas fill in what the camera would see along that path. You’re in the director's chair, staging the scene. Here we made a 1 min video with a couple images of totally different scenes, and we set where the camera keyframes should move through each part of the scene. The scene-to-scene transitions are great. Atlas makes it feel like a smooth shot with no cuts.

I can't stop thinking about this... Michael Caine on his defining philosophy on life: Use the Difficulty As a young actor, he was rehearsing a play scene when a chair got stuck in the door and blocked his path. He told the other actor he couldn't get by the chair to enter the room in the scene. The actor's response: "Use the difficulty...if it's a comedy, fall over it, if it's a drama, pick it up and smash it." This idea—of using the difficulty—became a defining mantra for Michael Caine's life. "There's never anything so bad that you cannot use that difficulty...if you can use it a quarter of one percent to your advantage, you're ahead, you didn't let it get you down." This idea hit me hard... How can you use the difficulty you're currently facing? How can you embrace the struggle? How can you find flow through the friction? How can you sow the seeds of your light during the periods of darkness? As with everything in life, control the controllable: The difficulty is already there, you can't control it. You can control how you react to it. You can control your response to it. You can control your attitude towards it. Lesson: Difficulty is inevitable. Use it.
