My experience using a public toilet in Wrocław: Attendant: “Cabin costs 1.5 PLN. Urinal costs 1 PLN.” Me: “But the price board says the urinal costs 0.5 PLN?” Attendant: “Handwashing is 0.5 PLN extra.”

I'm currently working on a new react-native-nitro-fetch library📡. I hope we will be able to release it next week. Key things: - drop in fetch replacement - prefetch and prefetchOnAppStart - built with nitro and cronet - works with worklets - fetchOnWorklet and it's faster 🏎️

The Lynx team demonstrating Main Thread Components at @reactuniverse_. Solves many age-old problems that React Native has faced. (resisting the urge to just put the whole <App> component on the main thread…)

My article looking very at-home on a Kindle Scribe 🤩 Will have to look into ways to publish directly to Kindle! Never thought of it for this purpose before; it’s like reading a newspaper.

So glad I don’t have to think about this. Looks like an absolute ant nest. Expo SDK 54 is looking like one of the most transformative updates since the move to New Arch. Hats off, all involved!

Who's going to @reactuniverse_ next week? I'm still assessing whether it'd be possible for me to go, but I'd like to know what dates people are thinking of being around for, so that I can start researching flights and hotels.
