Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

They delve into the increasing popularity of local storage solutions, deep linking, and the rise of Zustand in state management, while also addressing the challenges and opportunities for solo developers in the mobile app space. In this conversation, Beto and Simon discuss the current state and future of React Native, focusing on various aspects such as Expo Router usage, styling trends, graphics and animations, component libraries, debugging tools, architecture adoption, build processes, AI in code generation, and community sentiment. They highlight the improvements in developer experience and the shift towards a more native approach in React Native development. Learn React Native - https://galaxies.dev Alberto Moedano Beto X: https://twitter.com/betomoedano Beto YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@codewithbeto Code with Beto Courses: https://codewithbeto.dev/ Links State of React Native Survey: https://results.stateofreactnative.com/en-US/ Takeaways The State of React Native survey had over 3,000 participants, indicating growing interest. A significant number of React Native developers come from backend backgrounds. Solo developers can effectively use Expo and React Native to build apps. The trend towards local-first applications is gaining traction in the developer community. Deep linking is becoming increasingly important for app navigation. Zustand is rising in popularity as a state management solution. Inline styling remains a popular choice among developers. Expo is working on a new UI component library to enhance native app development. The future of data syncing and local storage solutions looks promising with new technologies. ExpoRouter is seeing increased usage and feedback is being actively incorporated. Styling in React Native is evolving, with inline styles gaining popularity due to AI tools. Graphics and animations are best handled with libraries like Reanimated and Skia. Component libraries are declining, indicating a shift towards more flexible styling solutions. Debugging tools are improving, with new options like Radon IDE and Atlas for Expo. The adoption of the new React Native architecture is growing, with many developers migrating successfully. EAS build is the preferred method for building applications, offering automation and a free tier. AI is becoming a significant part of the coding process, with many developers relying on it for code generation.

Dohyun shares insights on his most successful app, Montee, and the strategies behind its development and marketing, as well as the lessons learned from previous projects. In this conversation, Dohyun discusses the development of his app, Montee, focusing on the use of Next.js and Supabase for differentiation and backend management. He shares insights on API security, handling costs, and user management strategies. The importance of action bias in development is emphasized, along with ideation and keyword research strategies. The discussion also covers social media marketing tactics and preferences between web and mobile app development.

He believes in copying successful ideas rather than focusing on originality. Montee, his AI meeting recorder app, achieved $1,500 in monthly recurring revenue shortly after launch. Dohyun discusses the challenges of app growth and the impact of churn on revenue. He highlights the importance of effective marketing strategies for app success. Dohyun prefers Supabase over Firebase for its relational database capabilities and better documentation. He shares insights on the technology stack used for PerfectInterview.ai, including Next.js and Gemini. Dohyun believes that app growth is often a series of step functions rather than exponential growth. Copy first and differentiate second is a key strategy. API keys should never be exposed in client-side code. User requests should always be traceable to prevent abuse. Action bias is crucial for shipping apps. Keyword research is not the only way to ideate apps. Social media marketing can drive app visibility. Instagram is currently more explosive for growth than TikTok. Web apps allow for faster updates and cash flow management. Developers should focus on building value-adding features. It's important to distinguish between fun projects and income-generating apps.…

Delphine Bugner, Mobile Tech Lead at BAM, discusses the inner workings of Yoga in React Native. Yoga is responsible for positioning components on the screen based on their dimensions and styling props. Delphine emphasizes the importance of understanding how things work under the hood and why they were designed that way. She shares her uncommon journey into becoming a React Native tech lead and her passion for exploring the technical aspects of technology. She also discusses the architecture of Yoga and how it works under the hood, including the translation of JSX into native views, the creation of shadow nodes and Yoga nodes, and the communication between JavaScript and native code. The conversation concludes with a discussion about the future of Yoga and its alignment with React on the web. Learn React Native - https://galaxies.dev Delphine Bugner Delphine Twitter: https://twitter.com/DelphineBugner Delphine Github: https://github.com/delphinebugner Links Delphine "The Yoga Enigma" talk in Berlin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU3vK3IbprY Yoga: https://www.yogalayout.dev/ Takeaways Yoga is responsible for positioning components on the screen based on their dimensions and styling props in React Native. Understanding how things work under the hood and why they were designed that way is important for developers. Yoga was created as a replacement for CSS in React Native and provides a common platform-agnostic layouting solution. The architecture of Yoga involves the translation of JSX into native views, the creation of shadow nodes and Yoga nodes, and the communication between JavaScript and native code. The new architecture in React Native improves code maintenance and performance. View flattening is a concept in Yoga that minimizes unnecessary containers in the view hierarchy. Debugging Yoga can be done by using breakpoints in C++ to understand the algorithm and identify the source of bugs. The new architecture in React Native brings more conformity with the web and allows for features like suspense and transitions that were not possible before. Working with native modules in React Native is not as difficult as it may seem, and developers can use tools like Bob or Create React Native Library CLI to simplify the process. Expo provides a more maintained and active ecosystem compared to the community libraries, making it a good choice for new projects. Yoga is continuously evolving to align React Native with the web, and future updates will offer more configuration options for developers.…
