New bridge components, a book milestone, and a question for you

Hey again,

I’ve been heads down on my new bridge component library so I’ll keep this one short. Here are a few quick updates for you this week:

More bridge components 🎉 #

Since we last spoke, I’ve added a new free component and two new paid components to the Bridge Components repo. Use these to check permission status, present native share sheets, and scan barcodes.

Reminder: Use the promo code REDACTED for 50% off before it expires next week.

Book content = done ✅ #

The last two chapters are in! That means the core content of Hotwire Native for Rails Developers is complete. If you’ve been waiting, now’s the perfect time to grab a copy and lock in the beta discount before the final release.

Chat with Dave Thomas 🎧 #

I had the pleasure of chatting with Dave Thomas, co-author of The Pragmatic Programmer and co-founder of The Pragmatic Bookshelf. We discussed how to quickly build and launch a mobile MVP with minimal ongoing maintenance.

Until next time - thanks!
