Decided to pick up Blue Prince the other day.
Lovely game which unravels itself time and time again. You start having no idea what to do and keep discovering new layers. I'm amazed by how many times the game let's you find yet another dimension to weave into the gameplay.

Found it funny that yesterday's GitHub outage page offered 3 support channels:
1. A GitHub link, not very helpful when it's down.
2. A link to a status page. All green of course.
3. A link to a Twitter account, which by default has posts sorted by popularity, surfacing a 2019 outage as the top post.

Looks useful to me! I think everyone does bits and pieces of this, but it's nice to have someone thoughtfully collect the totality of what a PR template could/should include.

I've explicitly opted to 1. not put React Native in a monorepo 2. not use pnpm with Expo.
Since yesterday, with Expo 52 explicitly announcing pnpm monorepo support, it might be time to re-evaluate.

Looking into Android intents, I'm looking for an intent that will take the user directly to the settings screen for the app's permissions.
`ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS` is one step short. Link card below hints at the existence of an `ACTION_MANAGE_PERMISSION_USAGE`, but it doesn't exist?

Many React Native libraries bring their own permissions API, and while it's great for easy adoption, I've lately found @zoontek.me's standalone permissions lib to be indispensible.
Hard to put my finger on why, but I think that the standardized API and clearly laid out flows just makes things click

I'm with Antonio, kentbeck.github.io/TestDesidera... is a great breakdown of desirable test traits - how they reinforce each other and sometimes work against each other.
Keeping those traits in mind, it is easier to be intentional with your tests, knowing which trade-offs you are making.

Trying out React compiler on our React 18 app. Really easy to get set up, and people like @no.lol are doing work making sure you feel supported!
Keeping things simple paid off big time. Only had to change the API of one sketchy custom hook, and click Play.
Now I'm looking at a lot of sparkles ✨

Tool 1 produces an error. When reducing the case to it's bare minimum, it is clear that it is impacted by tool 2. Removing either tool 1 or tool 2 from the equation resolves the issue.
Congratulations! You now have an issue/time sink no one else will want to touch with a pole (for good reasons).

Upcoming React API useEffectEvent looks interesting!
Seems to be a solution to some of the most gnarly issues around dependency arrays being either over- or under-populated due to wanting to access an up-to-date state, but not wanting to trigger the effect every time it changes.

A few years ago i wrote myself a small web app which scraped recipes from a high quality source, and aggregated all the ingredients from the chosen recipes into a shopping list.
Really convenient when I know roughly what I want to eat and want the shopping to be minimum effort.

Played Inscryption the other evening. For 8 hours straight. Beautiful game which starts out as a mostly straightforward roguelike deck builder, but unveils new increasingly unexpected game elements all the time.
All in a dark, moody setting. Warm recommend if you like I didn't play it 3 years ago.

Anyone out there well versed with default behaviors of date/time inputs (and Intl APIs when locale is undefined)?
How do browser and OS language interact?
Just started looking into it thoroughly, and would be interested to hear some informed takes.
I expect nothing short of a rat's nest.
