React Native Connection@reactnativeconnect.bsky.social· 5 Mar 2025If you’re reading this, you’re porb using the very same code written by @samuel.bsky.team, as he’s approx. *checks notes* one third of Bluesky's product team.
Here’s hoping there won’t be any hotfixes on April 2.

some ideas:
- blobs and atproto CDNs
- indexing app.bsky records
- ... and then piggybacking off the bluesky social graph
- extending statusphere into micro-microblogging
- automod, maybe even labelling?

there are two key elements for using Reanimated performantly
1. minimise moving data between threads. write to shared values from JS as little as possible, similar to how you use `useState`
2. animate gpu-accelerated properties where possible. just like with CSS, use `transform`, avoid relayouts!

ended up doing some fucked up ngrok things so you can use oauth in development. it's probably simpler than that but claude wrote a nice script that sets it up automatically
