Experimenting with hooks - and eventually ended up creating some higher-order hooks (or hook-creator, whatever). Would this be an acceptable pattern, or are there any issues with performance/rendering I should be aware of? @dan_abramov #react

Specifics don't matter -- this is for a mapping-library react wrapper. I'm just wondering if creating the hook inside a component on each render with a HOF is an issue or not.. 🤔

I miss the days when you could tell a site was hacked because it'd be replaced by a picture of a big arse or something.

With all these articles about simple, boilerplate free state management going around, I'm left to wonder,... What environment are you all working in? I'm guessing smaller teams, with small-scale applications?

In any case, I can't count the times a flux pattern has saved my ass in a large scale application. I get it, though,.. sagas are overkill for a simple todo app. But in my experience, that "boilerplate" these articles talk about, is simply good practice architecture.
Filing a ticket to tech support in 2018 still feels like a scene from The IT Crowd to me. Yes, I tried turning it off and on again. Yes, I set the correct authorization header with a valid token. Yes, I know what I'm doing, please just admit your API is broken. #techsupport

State of JS 2018 results are always fascinating, and I'm truly thankful for the effort put in. It's a fantastic way to figure out the latest trends. But oh dear lord, could you guys please not use red colours for positive responses... 🙈#badUX #StateOfJS

Looking at the @IKEAtoday Place app, I gotta say,... that's a neat UI. Well done to the dev team over there! Still wondering what #AugmentedReality means for you as a user? -- This app's a great use case.

Does anyone know of decent react "white-label" component libraries (components that handle functionality for you, without enforcing overrides for UI customisation)? Got some ideas in that direction, looking for inspiration
2
and yes, if you're wondering,... this is a response to the frustration I've felt over the years with dealing with all kinds of UI component libraries. E.g. ever tried customising a material-ui component? It's not as flexible as I would like.
Specifically, I want to use patterns like those used by Downshift @kentc , but looking at a broader, fully fledged component library.

"wait, you mean I could actually see my future car... In my own living room?!" Ha! Yeah, I just love how seeing a glimpse of an AR experience can spark someone's imagination 😊 #wholesome #AR #overlapStudios

Damn, I'm having a lot of fun with Viro.. Building our AR applications has never been easier, iterating has never been faster! Just another proof of what some #reactnative bindings can bring to the table. Thanks @virohq !

v1.0.0 of react-minimal-form is out! After using it with such ease, developer comfort and sanity (!) in a couple of production projects, I feel comfortable doing a first major release. A perfect use case for the context-api. Tried it yet? repo -> buff.ly/2JJSB40
