@rafaelcosta to my business associates, but you can call me Rafael Costa.

The Facts

Listen to the gossip.

Brazilian from Rio, living in Stockholm. Ad man who doesn’t do ads. Software developer, cryptography geek and everything-tinkerer.

I make https://appstore.com/arachis, a pnut client for iOS, Android and macOS.

Anything new?

Fun stuff: during my absence it seems that Arachis stuff just kept working, which is nice :D

Also, it allows me to play around with C++, which I quite enjoy too 😅
1126959
...so I'm just going for it and then I can do what I like the most: building nice UI experiments and fun stuff for you all to try!
1126958
I'm currently working on a C++ wrapper for the Pnut API so I can reuse it in whatever client I wanna build. This is/was the main hinderance for making Arachis available everywhere...

Hello everyone! How are y'all doing? Been a bit absent here, moving homes and settling down, but now it's mostly done! :D
1126956
Haven’t been doing much Arachis recently because I’ve been mainly focusing on brushing up on my C++ and studying compilers. But I’m getting back into it 😁

Life’s been a bit chaotic but settling down! Finally feel at home in Sweden and bought a home 🙌

@hackernews @33MHz When I first tried RN a few years ago I had a lot of problems getting native perf., specially on animations that ran on the JS thread. Now they have means of making sure that the animations do not depend on the JS thread, works wonders.

@33MHz @hackernews 200% agree! I *love* Flutter but to be honest, I think that RN has reached a mass of libraries and support for native options that is hard to ignore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@thedoctor @33MHz @sulgi If you do that and it still doesn't work, can you tell me if accessing https://pnut.cos.tax/ will show a text saying "pnut-push 11.0"?

@sulgi @33MHz @thedoctor Hej! I’m the developer for Arachis! Can you try closing the app (removing it from the recents on iOS) and opening it back up again?

@muncman Enums man, enums are my biggest pet peeve. I love doing state machines and enums are such a good fit for the events. Replicating that in Flutter was A PAIN.

@muncman I *love* Flutter. I HATE Dart. 😅
