Runs on @expo.dev custom dev client and @swmansion.com Reanimated v4 CSS Animations. Was 5 min initial work and a few minutes to understand sync measurement with Fabric :D If you want to play with it: gist.github.com/hirbod/dc161... The future is React Native.

I love RN, but won’t React Strict DOM be the ultimate answer?

RSD will definitely help unify the API, but the underlying primitives will still be different.

Let me ask then. For large applications that are primarily used on a desktop, what’s your vision for the future? RN?

When you say applications, do you mean desktop apps or web apps? If it’s the latter, I believe RN will play a big role here. Universal apps are definitely the future, and PWAs suck. React Native is the best bet (in my opinion).

that looks clean m8

Oh man, I was trying to create this kind of layout years ago in React Native (basically copying iOS Safari’s expanding/contracting URL bar). I did end up using Reanimated at the time, and it was mind-bendingly hard to set up. Glad to hear Reanimated v4 has made things easier.

Its pretty amazing. Sync measurements with Fabric are also superb!
