I created a beautiful number animation library for React Native

    Looking at websites such as Clerk, I began thinking that design engineers might be some kind of wizards. I wanted to understand how they do it, so I started reverse-engineering their components out of curiosity. One thing led to another, and I ended up building a small library of reusable, animated components based on what I found. The library is built in React and Framer Motion.

    Hey Hacker News, I'm a long-time lurker and wanted to share a project I just finished building. Like many React Native developers, I needed to add marker clustering to a map in my app. The most popular library for this, react-native-maps-clustering, was fantastic in its day but has become outdated and no longer works with modern versions of Expo, React Native, and their dependencies. After hitting a wall of compatibility issues, I decided to take on the challenge of rewriting it from the ground up, focusing on a modern toolchain and a better developer experience. The journey was a lot more…

  • I spent 3 years reverse-engineering a 40 yo stock market sim from 1986▲721

    Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
