Just released the first version of Sweet Spot!
It's like IMDb but for concert films with Spatial Audio:
Find what to watch and where to stream, rent or buy. Discover concert films without jumping from app to app.

What's next in React Native?
🌐 Better Web support with Next.js
🔗 Better HTTP client

You can use HTTP/3 in your React Native app! Install react-native-cronet to use Cronet, the networking stack of Chromium.
If your API and/or CDN already supports HTTP/3 with QUIC, you need to use Cronet!

🧱 Better UI components
@tryShowtime
is building Universal UI: a universal design system that works on iOS, Android and Web. It's a library of high-quality components to build your apps faster with less code (and less bugs).

This is a great paradigm for universal apps. Happy to see it being normalized. Sometimes having platform-specific layouts and components is the best solution, and now you can do it easily with Expo Router.
Amazing job
@Baconbrix
,
@Mark__lawlor
,
@Cedric_dev
and the
@Expo
team!
🚀 Expo Router v3 now has full support for popular web libraries like Radix, Tailwind, Shadcn UI, etc.
Meaning you can build high-fidelity components for a single platform w/o needing to build an entirely separate project or monorepo, just a platform-specific layout!

🔗 Better HTTP client
@Margelo_io
is building a better and faster HTTP client, featuring HTTP/3 support with QUIC. These new protocols make your apps load faster. Connections won't drop when switching networks. It's a huge win for all RN mobile apps.
@aeid1992
@lego_sharat
1. RN's fetch does not support HTTP/3, QUIC, FTP or other protocols
2. RN's fetch is just a bunch of slow JS polyfills. Mine would be fully native C++ JSI
3. RN's fetch does not natively support Blobs with access on the JS side (ArrayBuffer streaming). I can support that.

I worked on a private World of Warcraft server. I was 15 years old so I had to lie on my age -- in my application I said that I was 19.

Henry just created an ERC721 and minted one as a wedding present: ❤️
The idea is that the NFT evolves over time and that the metal densifies until it reaches iridium after 50 years.
This is dope. Thanks man!
Had some fun implementing an ERC721 to represent marriages on the blockchain. Metadata changes over-time, as the marriage grows older & stronger:

So this is the story of how we learned a big lesson: don't grow on top of one centralized platform.
But platforms are cool: we wouldn't have been able to build our startup without them. We just need better platforms. We need decentralized platforms.

A decentralized social network is owned by its users, developers, employees and investors. The incentives are aligned and everyone is able to make decisions.
At Showtime, our codebase will be open source and anyone will be able to contribute and/or review what we do.
