Built with react-native-reanimated shared values driving an interpolated translateX on a rotated expo-linear-gradient band. @react-native-masked-view/masked-view clips the gradient to a mask that clones the input's rounded border and placeholder text, so a single sweep visually highlights both at once. Focus cancels the looping shimmer and runs a one-shot linear sweep; blur restarts the loop only when the field is empty. Placeholder fade is handled by a second shared value with withSpring to keep the masked text in sync with the live TextInput. Tested on Expo SDK 56 (iOS + Android); runs in Expo Go, since the masked-view and keyboard-controller native modules are both bundled there as of SDK 56.
A dark-mode text input with a shimmer: a diagonal gradient highlight sweeps across both the rounded border and the placeholder letterforms. The sweep loops while the field sits idle, fires once on focus, and the placeholder springs out of the way as the user starts typing.
A WebGPU tap game for React Native: each tap carves a crack where it lands, until the rock shatters and a glowing crystal rises out. The rock and its chunks are ray-traced with no mesh, GPU particles throw chips, dust and gold, and every hit has synthesized sound and haptics. Use it as a reward reveal, or as a working reference for WebGPU on Skia's own GPU device.
A real-time liquid simulation for React Native: hold to pour water, milk or wine into a wine glass, tip it over, and watch it splash, all on the GPU. Up to 16,384 particles run in WebGPU compute shaders on Skia's own device, so each frame reaches the canvas with no copy, and spills spread into puddles on the table. Use it as a drinks app hero screen or a WebGPU reference.
A 3D album carousel for React Native: flick through a crate of vinyl sleeves, then tap one to lift it out and slide the record from its sleeve. Drawn with WebGPU on Skia's own Graphite device, with soft shadows, depth of field, a haptic tick per record and four rooms. Drop it into a music library or record store app that should feel physical.
