React Native builds sometimes takes long. Was exploring ways to make that time pass faster in Radon IDE. Wdyt?

I actually suck at tetris but staying with the IDE instead of switching to browser and scrolling the feed while waiting seem like a good idea.

React Universe is a constantly evolving ecosystem—driving curiosity and continuous learning. And that's what we love about it! 🙌 Join us at React Universe Conf 2025 to future-proof your dev team:

can it run Doom?

that's a great idea, not sure if it can fit well on vertical screens though

It’s a good idea but getting the build times down would be an even bigger win 😄 I’ll be presenting some findings on build profiles at the React Native Japan meetup next week if it’s of any interest to Software Mansion!

Yess, interested!

Amazing work with Radon IDE! Is there any chance you could add access to simulator's internal storage? For my project I need to be able to open a file in the app and to do that I first need to send the file to simulator, which is not possible right now afaik

yes, would like to add that. Not going to be on our immediate priority list but hopefully we can get to it soon

Haha fucking genius!

So, your idea was to not get distracted while waiting for a process to finish by actually distracting? Why not instead create a view that reflects on changes: summarizes the changes with meta data, e.g. why they possible were or were not helpful, other solutions, etc.

I was posting this half-jokingly. But I think in reality no-one really just sits there and watches the console logs until the build is finished. What people do is they switch to some other app, maybe start reading twitter. This is much more distracting, because the game ends when the build is finished while when you switch away from the build entirely you don't know when it is ready.
