New PR: Speculative RN crash fix (#9436)
Speculative RN crash fix by mozzius · Pull Request #9436 · bluesky-social/social-app
Stacked on #9429 Weirdly, we're seeing something very similar to facebook/react-native#44842 reappear. A fix for that did indeed get upstreamed, but it's back! Exception java.lang.NullPoint...

"I want to discover new posts but I want them in chronological order" why is this such a common ask because it makes no sense

to add to this, there’s a few product-y reasons why I would really like a createPost API 1. we could run a server-side language detection model that actually works, so we wouldn’t need the language select in the client (it sucks) 2. you wouldn’t need to specify a createdAt time anymore (cont.)

Nerding out about the question of whether the client or the server should be the one who speaks to the PDS
The politics of purely client-side apps
There's a surprisingly nuanced discussion in development about the political economy of clients and servers in the Atmosphere

3. for more casual API users, i.e. people doing integrations, we could do stuff like auto-detecting facets. 1000x better DX 4. we could force people to specify aspect ratios on their images 😈 5. we could check if the post is actually gonna be valid - i.e. throw an error if it would fail a threadgate

lotta product reasons here! it’s so weird from an outside perspective that our GET APIs are nice and normal, and our POST APIs are extremely unergonomic protocol-y jank. creating a post is the core feature of the app and for some reason we’re out here calculating our own TIDs 😵‍💫
