What @wcandillon is doing for react native apps cannot be overstated.
I saw a lot of people assuming that the jelly slider only lives on the web, but thanks to react-native-wgpu by @wcandillon it can also live inside your React Native app.
The shader code stayed the same since it’s all TypeScript, and the TypeGPU plugin works with both Vite and Babel. The only change was event handling, made easy by react-native-gesture-handler.

React Native WebGPU by @wcandillon is such a cracked library 🔥
Created a template so you can try the preview + react-three-fiber today!
npx create-expo-app -e with-webgpu
🥲🥲Thank You for this 🙏

shipped these dynamic candlestick charts for @farcaster_xyz last week:
- smooth Y axis resizing on scroll
- hold down to highlight a candle
- buy / sell markers
- haptics on hold
- rubber banding + inertial scrolling
- 60 FPS
react native / reanimated / skia
This very cool 🥲 We run the e2e tests on RN Web and that give us the reference results from Google Chrome.
🚀 react-native-wgpu v0.4.0 now runs in the browser too!
🔥 One GPU API powering iOS, Android, Web and visionOS
Thank you @wcandillon for this amazing library!

Today, we’re officially releasing React Native Godot to the public.
For the first time, every React Native developer can create games with an amazing UI on top.
This unlocks a new era of apps and games.

typegpu-confetti is the fastest confetti library for React Native. 😎 See why!

Great thread, a lot of truth here.
This is exactly why I’m building Three.js Blocks:
Three.js is the GOAT at its core, and the new WebGPURenderer is pure art, it just needs more plug-and-play modules like the big game engines have.
I’ll do everything I can to make that happen.
every time I talk about my engine with devs that used @unity their whole life I always get the same reaction:
1 - they don't believe one person can build an engine that surpasses it and
2 - even if they could, it must result in tech that is "too hard" to use
this used to bother me a lot, but today I realized something 🧵
Late in summer we released a version of RN Skia that was fully reliant on Hermes's GC for its resource management. We had some imprecisions there. v2.3.9 fixes them.

👀 More exciting news from RNLConf coming your way:
🎤 Saad Najmi @SaadNajmi (Microsoft) & Jay Meistrich @jmeistrich (Bravely) will take the stage to explore the latest developments and future of RN on macOS
Don’t miss this session, tickets available now! 🎟️
@wcandillon is always pushing the limit.
Thank you

Unveiling a Dynamic Island‑style scroll header—silky‑smooth with React Native Skia. Crafted for performance and delight. Big thanks to @wcandillon for the perfect library. #ReactNative #Skia #Testify 🚀✨
Jiro Ono is turning 100 today. The ideas in the documentary "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" are of course applicable to any craft, software engineering certainly being no exception.
Happy birthday, Jiro. May countless sushi dreams still await you.
I'm seeing converging trends: SDFs getting more and more love. Shaders getting easier and easier to write (e.g TypeGPU). This means more expressive, fluid user-experiences on React Native and Web.
