Bluesky Social is a cross-platform social media application built with React Native and Expo. It runs on iOS, Android, and Web, connecting to the AT Protocol (atproto) decentralized social network.
**Tech Stack:**
- React 19.1
- React Native 0.81 with Expo 54
- TypeScript
- React Navigation for routing
- TypeScript 6
- React Navigation 7 for routing
- TanStack Query (React Query) for data fetching
- Lingui for internationalization
- Lingui 5 for internationalization
- Custom design system called ALF (Application Layout Framework)
Prefer using the latest features available for each of these libraries (exact versions are found in `package.json`). For example, prefer `@lingui/react/macro` over `@lingui/react`. Suggest refactoring legacy or deprecated uses.

Comment code when necessary to explain the “why” behind something; avoid
comments that simply describe the code. Avoid Unicode characters in comments,
e.g., use `-` not `—`.
For larger features or components, it's helpful to include a README.md file

## Component Patterns
- Prefer fragment shorthand over `Fragment` unless a `key` is needed.
- Prefer functions over arrow functions for component declarations.
- Prefer prop destructuring via parameters over a const within the component.
- Prefer inline types over `Props` types or interfaces.
- Set reasonable defaults for optional props.
```tsx
import {Fragment} from 'react'
import {View} from 'react-native'
import {Trans, useLingui} from '@lingui/react/macro'
import {Text} from '#/components/Typography'

## Internationalization (i18n)
All user-facing strings must be wrapped for translation using Lingui.
All user-facing strings must be wrapped for translation using Lingui. Include `comment` and/or `context` props when necessary to avoid ambiguity, e.g., “Post” as a noun vs a verb.
Prefer using `t` via `import {useLingui} '@lingui/react/macro'` vs `_` via `import {useLingui} from '@lingui/react'`. Alias `t` to `l` to avoid collisions with `const t = useTheme()`. Refactor existing uses of ``_(msg`foo`)`` to use `` l`foo` ``.
Prefer Unicode punctuation over keyboard punctuation, e.g., `“quote”` over `"quote"`. Prefer en dashes preceded by a non-breaking space over em dashes, e.g., `one  two` over `one—two`.
```tsx
import {msg, plural} from '@lingui/core/macro'
import {Trans} from '@lingui/react/macro'
import {useLingui} from '@lingui/react'
import {plural} from '@lingui/core/macro'
import {Trans, useLingui} from '@lingui/react/macro'
function MyComponent() {
const {_} = useLingui()
const {t: l} = useLingui()
// Simple strings - use msg() with _() function
const title = _(msg`Settings`)
const errorMessage = _(msg`Something went wrong`)
// Simple strings - use the l macro
const title = l`Settings`
const errorMessage = l({
message: 'Something went wrong',
comment: 'Generic error message for unknown/unhandled errors.',
context: 'Toast',
})
// Strings with variables
const greeting = _(msg`Hello, ${name}!`)
const greeting = l`Hello, ${name}!`
// Pluralization
const countLabel = _(plural(count, {
const countLabel = plural(count, {
one: '# item',
other: '# items',
}))
})
// JSX content - use Trans component
return (
<Text>
<Trans>Welcome to <Text style={a.font_bold}>Bluesky</Text></Trans>
<Trans>
Welcome to <Text style={a.font_bold}>Bluesky</Text>, {name}!
</Trans>
</Text>
)
}
```
Prefer `i18n.date` for date and time formatting. This ensures formatting is re-applied when the language changes at runtime. Refactor existing uses of `Intl.DateTimeFormat` to use `i18n.date`.
```tsx
import {useLingui} from '@lingui/react/macro'
