This is what it’s really about. Thank you for this - I’m so glad you liked it. Gay friends are the greatest.❤️🥹
Gay bros after the amazing @brosthemovie 💖 When I was younger and experiencing depression due to discrimination for being Black and gay, all I wanted was a simple life. A life where I went to gay movies with gay friends. I’m glad I stayed alive and get to see that life.💖

Woo! can't wait to hear it!
"One of the constant struggles we had with the native apps was maintaining them and adding features. It was also about scaling our team without hiring triple the engineers." - Naoya Makino, Senior Engineering Manager at @mercari_app. Interviewing him now for @ReactNativeRdio!

Congratulations again to @CardWrestling and to Shane for his national championship NCAA win! Stanford Women's basketball got the recognition they deserved for their excellence but Shane sadly did not get the same treatment #KeepStanfordWrestling #36sportsstrong

Stanford's Shane Griffith has become a national champion after the school made the decision to cut its wrestling program. Griffith and teammates wore black singlets in the NCAA championships in response to the program being dropped. (via @ncaawrestling)

There are over 750 screens at Facebook written with React Native, and more every day. This doesn’t count Oculus who use React Native for all of the system UI, Store, and even some VR apps. RN is a major part of the way hundreds of engineers at Facebook work.
The correct answer is 750+ ~450 React Native screens in the Facebook app, and 300+ in other apps (Instagram, Ads Manager, Oculus app, etc.) Think about what that number means.

We’ve just released React 16.8 with a stable version of Hooks. React Hooks let you use features like local state and lifecycle without writing a class. They’re fully backwards-compatible and you can start using them today. reactjs.org/blog/2019/02/06/…
