One weird thing I found with React Native is that because it does not include lots of native widgets and functionality, people tend to recreate native stuff with custom code, thus kind of missing the point of a native app
Like this context menu, which mimicks the long press menu from iOS, so it fails to be native in both platforms

I wonder if just sharing business logic with Kotlin Multiplatform is the better approach
😵💫 Flutter team considering to remove the HTML renderer #WebDev
Document Link https://flutter.dev/go/deprecate-html-renderer What problem are you solving? The HTML renderer is complex, underperforming, and limited in graphical expressivity compared to WebGL-bas...
Huh I think I caught a glimpse on why people started doing some dubious coding practices to avoid global css
Somebody put some marketing script that inserts some floating buttons and turns out the site’s global css for buttons was breaking them
It was a simple adjustment but the ideal solution would be to not use these scripts at all though 😝 might be annoying for the users but what do I know
Does anyone know if the Google Play performance vitals report is also valid for React Native apps? I’m curious about the rendering and input latency data specially. What if the delay is only on the JavaScript side but the native side is fine, would that be caught by the default tracking? If not, is there other ways to measure real users’ performance?
Heads up for folks working with #NodeJS, there was a breaking change between Node 20.12 and 20.13 related to Headers objects. I noticed some cloud functions stopped working mysteriously after a deployment, turns out the cloud provider updated the Node runtime version. In my case I had to fix how I was using the spread operator
Any tips for more effective automated UI testing, including for native apps? Using headless browsers and Android/iOS VMs seems to be costly and flaky, not sure how to properly do them and how to argue for using them
Is it reasonable to pre-render all pages of a site if the content is from an external CMS API? The problem is updating it. Kinda weird to fetch the whole DB every time there’s a new post. Maybe there’s some way to cache old posts but I’m not sure how. Seems like JamStack folks usually put the content directly on the git repo?
I’m kinda wary of rendering pages with cloud functions as dunno about the impact on speed and complexity
Are accessibility actions expected overall on iOS? I noticed the default setting is to not announce they’re available, while Android automatically announces like “tap with 3 fingers to check actions”. I was thinking of mentioning it in a hint in iOS like “editable by swiping vertically and selecting an action” as I dunno how widespread they are in Brazilian apps. But if it’s usual to check for actions in daily use this would be redundant. It’s for an item in a list
O governo brasileiro tá liberando mais de R$ 20 milhões pra mais uma rodada de projetos pra start-ups de IA
Talvez bom ficar de olho no que estão fazendo se não tem óleo de cobra no meio
Pelo que entendi de rodadas passadas já tem em andamento 6 PoCs (provas de conceito/protótipo) e mais 2 projetos em desenvolvimento
A iniciativa seria boa (fomentar startups nacionais) se não fosse um tema tão hypado que pode atrair implementações suspeitas
