What if Expo had hardware? I built my dream app dev setup, where I can control multiple devices at once, tap for latest dev builds, and use physical buttons to reload, toggle theme & network, and more.

@JI @expo Such a cool DIY project! I must finally get back to microcontrollers, it's so much fun! I see the button case is 3D printed; what's under the hood?

@JI @expo it's a raspi pico and an NFC tag. pretty simple but it works!

@expo Beautiful work. I really need to know what process makes a video like this. Please share your step-by-step process that we can follow. We expect a long thread where you explain.

Jon Samp2 months ago

@sr_masudur @expo The process is not glamorous. Used a nice camera (Sony ZEV10) and a tripod, an OP-1 for the music, and Final Cut Pro for editing.

@expo I'd subscribe to rent stuff out that Just Worked. Right now I'm stuck with a base 8GB M1 MacBook Air and an iPhone XR (just switched from Android, and these are my wife's old devices)

@expo Is this on the Glaze store yet?

@expo not yet! it'd be nice if we released something like this and also supported it.

Here’s a fun one: the AI developer tools we shipped for Quest a few weeks ago also work on Portal devices! So if you have one, it’s now also a dev kit. Describe an app, deploy over USB. Here’s what I built for my Portal, a centralized home hub where I can see and control our smart devices.

Something cool - had Devin build a React Native app with Expo and test it on my phone in real time AI writes code in the cloud, I scan a QR code, app shows up on my device with hot reload. No local dev environment needed! I can run parallel sessions from anywhere.

Was fun to be at a dev event in Bengaluru and demo an app I built recently for deep research with multiple models and decision frameworks...think of it as "chain of debate"... Next stop, Copilot!!

This came as a surprise: Microsoft has unveiled handheld and desktop devices designed to control one's agents. It reminds me of what I had expected from OpenAI’s hardware-standalone devices for controlling agents.

Watch Cursor control my browser. It can see what's happening, including network and console logs. Now my Cursor can debug and fix web site problems without any copy-pasta. HUGE speed up for web dev - with this Cursor can compete with v0 and replit at autonomous web app dev. This is Open Source and published now on npm: cursor-tools@alpha Full prompts in thread

karpathy’s been saying it: we’re moving from IDEs to a new kind of dev interface. this is my take: a macOS app for running multiple workstreams per project (and multiple projects at once), each with its own workspace (ghostty terminal, claude session, browser), all in parallel. blazing fast. free and open source, as dev toolboxes should be:

If you use Next.js + @shadcn/ui, you know the pain of importing components one by one. As a lazy dev, I built a VS Code extension to import multiple components at once 🚀 No more: import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button" import { Input } from "@/components/ui/input" import { Card } from "@/components/ui/card" Just select what you need, done ✨

✈️ Introducing “simmer” I wanted to do native iOS dev on my Mac mini at home from a plane but still SEE and INTERACT with my app So I built this while on the plane 😅 • iOS + Android sims in your browser • Built-in terminal access • Designed for high latency workflows

I built dev tools at GitHub for 7 years before AI coding became the default. AI made code gen fast, but software still depends on the human mind knowing which details matter. AI only made that harder. That's why I built Nuanced, the AI coding app I want. Nuanced is a macOS app for building software with agents around a living spec, keeping intent and implementation connected as the agent builds. Try it:

Yeah I can't even hold you this is CRAZY and there are a ton of parameters where you can blend it, intensify certain things, I'm sure on a dev level there's even more control. I turned most of it to max just to see #NBA2K27

So I created a simple Expo app for remotely connecting to an OpenCode server (running on my mac) so I can remotely control & prompt from my iPad or phone. Not very polished but it works pretty well and its kinda interesting that you can see the feedback loop live.

Deepak Dev- You had one job - to use this in Mohanlal's intro at the minimum in Empuraan. I still dont understand why you would create such a fine score for the teaser and not use it anywhere in the film !

🖇️ #DEV: Did they call it? #CELLBIT: Yeah, we are getting second place! #DEV: Oh, that's my fucking captain! #CELLBIT: They're making me the villain, but I'm playing the game and using the. rules. What's the point of having a VAR if I can't use it! #DEV: The game is the game! #CELLBIT: I'm the captain and I'm fighting for my team and you can boo me all you want. #DEV: That's right! That's my goat! You did the right thing. Noo… they're booing Cellbit, he just got us second place, tho.

💡 I am building an Apple Vision Pro app to control my home lights — and it remembers where I placed the controls, even after rebooting. Using ARKit’s World Anchors in a full space, the app persists virtual objects across launches and reboots. Now I just look at a light and toggle it on/off. Set it up once. Feels like the controls are part of my space. Thinking of making a tutorial — would that be helpful? 👇

I go on vacation and bring my laptop so I can play round 2 of Reload Elite Series Opens on my laptop, despite bad fps and ping. Not only did I underperform on this tournament and play terrible due to the setup, they have now decided to ban me for this. Someone please help, I am so lost and have no idea what to do. #FreeCirc

Today I vibe-coded a small but incredibly useful macOS Electron app using Cursor + GPT-5.5. I use my Mac with a Samsung monitor that has a built-in webcam. Every time I used the camera, I noticed annoying light flickering. I always assumed it was my lighting. It turns out the culprit was the anti-flicker setting. The webcam was set to 60 Hz by default, while India's power frequency is 50 Hz. That mismatch causes visible flickering under indoor lighting. Samsung doesn't provide any way to change this on the monitor, and macOS doesn't have a built-in control for it either. So I asked Cursor to build a simple camera control app that lets me change the webcam's hardware settings, including the anti-flicker mode, along with zoom, brightness, contrast, and more. About 30 minutes and a few rounds of refinement later, I had a fully working Electron app. A tiny app, but it solved something that had been annoying me for months.

Some days ago I achieved this type of realism with ai. Everything done in #ComfyUI + Krea realtime and scaler for some previous magic trick. You can check more creative dev at my instagram Boldtron. 🐸🪄
