Coming from a native background, it always bugged me that some components in React Native were not 1:1.
Happy to bring UIPageControl and all of its glory to the ecosystem!

It's pretty easy to do in SwiftUI too
HStack(spacing : -8) {
ForEach() {
Image()
.background(
.white.blendMode(.destinationOut),
in: Circle().inset(by: -4)
)}
}
We went hard on clips at Campsite for stacked avatars, online dots, etc. — it turned out really well!

Apple is not startup-friendly.
They happily gave this entitlement to the bigger players in our space but denied us after a multi-week back/forth.
Apple's closed platforms & self-preferencing are stifling innovation and preventing new startups & emerging.
Decisive antitrust action is needed to restore competition & innovation in the iOS ecosystem.

Today, we’re starting something new at @6andle. We’re shifting our focus from an app to building an SDK.
Our vision: the only SDK developers need to programmatically connect to any internet service—no clunky browser automation, no security trade-offs. Just a simple, reliable API that works seamlessly across platforms.
By solving the infrastructure side first, we believe it will empower developers like ourselves—and countless other teams—to build the next generation of apps and agents.
We'll have more to share soon. If you'd like early access or want to learn more: candle.fi

If you use react-query it gets you 97% there & hooks are good enough for the rest.
