💻 The Talks
- Dead-simple animation with React Native Pose - Matt Perry
Animating interfaces in React Native traditionally involves state, plumbing, and imperative start calls.
In this talk, we'll learn how to write performant, declarative animations in seconds with React Native Pose's CSS-like API.
We'll discover how it alleviates traditional pain-points like coordinating multiple animations throughout the component tree and managing useNativeDriver.
- Real time audio processing in React Native - Zia Grosvenor
In this talk, we will compare cross platform audio engine libraries that can be used with React Native.
We will also discuss potential pain points and advise for building a smooth real time feel in an audio app with React Native.
There will be an example app, demonstrating the difference between updating an oscillator pitch from a React Native component and native UI component.
If you'd like to be a speaker for one of the next meetups, please submit your proposal here: https://reactnative.typeform.com/to/IyEjzz

👥 The Community Apps
We offer the opportunity for community members to showcase their work with React Native to inspire and get feedback from the community!
This month, Zopa, our sponsor for this edition, will present their app along with Perkbox.
Perkbox is a cloud-based HR technology platform designed to help improve staff engagement and interaction between management and teams.
