NativeBase -> Tamagui -> twrnc
Tailwind has the best DX, bringing this to react-native has made UI dev so much better.
Pixelfed is now on its 3rd major UI rewrite, and I'm borrowing a lot of experience from my twrnc usage on the new Loops app 😎

When I built the Pixelfed frontend, I thought bootstrap was the only way and wasn't very skilled with javascript.
Fast forward to 2026 and I've shipped half a dozen SPA's across the fediverse, including https://joinloops.org https://fedidb.com https://fediverse.info and https://loops.video
And 3 react-native mobile apps.
Now I am building a whole new Pixelfed frontend from scratch, and I couldn't be happier.
It's about time for 
to shine ✨

vite + unplugin-auto-import + vueuse are 🔥
Amazing dev productivity without having to run node in production.
Admins can compile the frontend, or use the precompiled assets.
After the new frontend is shipped, I'll work on the backend to reduce complexity and make Pixelfed much easier to install 🚀

I spent the last few hours removing the existing frontend, adding the new scaffolding (partially based on Loops) and creating reusable components based on our new design system to keep everything consistent.
Performance has improved noticeably by removing middleware that checked 2FA and valid email on every request, as we now handle that during authentication.
Can't wait to ship this ASAP, and for the Loops fam, I'll be back 😎

I'm having a lot of fun working on the new Pixelfed web redesign.
Not only is it so much prettier and cleaner, but it's also so much faster and responsive.
Remember Loops webUI in 2024 and how much better it is now?
Yeah, it's like that, but even better.
I'm not going to tease screenshots, I'd rather ship this ASAP so you can see yourself.
