After React 19 upgrade I was excited to use normal refs rather than forwardRefs in RN, but I guess forwardRef in some use cases, is that right? Official docs say: "In React 19, forwardRef is no longer necessary. Pass ref as a prop instead." so I thought I will get rid off them!

I might have figured out a new coding paradigm: Sauna coding 🧖‍♂️

Tried to make a feature of logging user out after 5 min of inactivity by using rn-gesture-handler. Basically wrapping the app and listening to gestures and updating activity state. It kind of works, but there are odd visual issues and some touch events are swallowed. Any ideas 😅

Hey @Baconbrix any expo router tips how should we handle navigation stack in onboarding/login so that the stack gets empty w/ no back navigation available to earlier steps. With replace the last route gets replaced, but able to nav to steps before that.

I have been tasked to evaluate RN a11y capabilities vs native. I noticed there was a good push for improvements under #GAADPledge but the last update is from 2022. Any updates on this? cc: @Eli_White @cortinico

Mobile questions 🤔 1. What is the name of this UX pattern? Where app goes bit "down" and smaller in the bg while modal comes from bottom 2. Is it iOS only? What is the equivalent on Android? 3. How to do this in RN? Can it be done using bottom sheet ⁦@gorhom⁩? Thanks 🙏

Been a while since I had to work on a screen that has text inputs & button that needs to avoid soft keyboard 😅 I hoped this would have been "solved" already, are there really not better solutions yet than RN KeyboardAvoidingView which seems to still have all sorts of quirks?

Got an Apple Watch, any app/use case recommendations? My favorite ones so far: Unlock mac/1password with it 😀

Thanks @tchayen and @expo for an awesome workshop day at @GoforeGroup - It was very nice to get firsthand instructions on Expo and how it has changed to accommodate normal RN projects. The paradigm has switched from React Native OR Expo 🤔 to React Native AND Expo 🤗

Sometimes I feel apps get developed just because there are big teams working on them, not because there is a need. Like slack latest UI changes have just felt jarring. Wish they would have used all that time & energy to just make it faster. That at less would have been useful.
