Nobody writes a review praising clean architecture.

What users notice is how an app feels. How it responds when they pull, swipe or tap. Those small moments are the difference between an app that works and one that feels good to use.

Lucas went digging after noticing how Duolingo builds its animations with Rive. Build it once, use the same file on iOS, Android and web, and make it react to what the user is doing.

Pink Hub is back.

Summer’s over, the desks are full again, and the third Open Day is on the calendar. 😎

If you missed the last two: Pink Hub is our office in Coimbra, and it’s also a tech hub with desks for rent. Founders, engineers, designers, company teams. Standing desks, fast WiFi, coffee included, a terrace for the good days, and a community that’s already here.

On the 16th of September, the door is open. Come work with us for a day, for free. Bring your laptop, bring your dog.

→ Third Open Day · 16 September · 09:30–18:00 · Free

Last Friday at Pink Room, we had an internal talk on Git worktrees.

The short version: one repository, several working copies. You can work on multiple branches at the same time without stashing anything, and each coding agent gets its own copy of the codebase to work in.

Worktrees went from a Git curiosity to a daily tool for us when we started running AI agents in parallel. One agent per worktree, without stepping on each other’s changes or interrupting your own workflows.

The important part is treating each worktree as a complete working context, not just a folder. Code, terminal, editor and agent session all belong together.

That was Sunset at Pink Hub.

Rooftop barbecue with Coimbra in the background, someone taking grill duty very seriously, video games on the big screen, and dogs doing quality control near the food table.

Pink Hub is a tech hub with desks for rent. But a space only works when people actually like being in it, and evenings like this one are proof. 🧡

Thanks to everyone who came! Same rooftop, next season. 😎

Every few weeks, someone at Pink Room closes their laptop and teaches the rest of us something.

Internal tech talks on coding agents in mobile development, prompt and context engineering, and next up: worktrees. Discoveries get shared on Slack first, and the useful ones end up in our internal monthly newsletter.

Some go further: “From Bare to Expo” started as a talk before becoming a post on our blog.
In a small team, what someone learns can’t stay in one head. Teaching each other is how the whole team gets senior, not just the person who did the work.

Summer at Pink Room, behind the scenes.

Some days look like discussions around a screen. Others look like quiet focus, code open, headphones on, and small details being worked through one by one.

Not the loudest part of building products.
Usually the most important one.

New on the blog: João Ferreiro on why the Expo you remember isn’t the Expo that exists today.

For two years, João was firmly on the Bare Workflow side of the debate. His friend kept telling him Expo had changed. He ignored him.

Then he actually looked.

Development Builds, Config Plugins, EAS Build, and OTA updates had quietly turned “native or convenience” into a false trade-off.

That’s shifted how we approach React Native projects. Less friction, without giving up the flexibility teams actually need.

A lot of good engineering happens in moments like this.

Working through an issue.
Calling a teammate over because something’s behaving in a way nobody expected.
Turning a code review into a longer conversation about how something should really be built.

Different projects, same way of working.

Two sides of Pink Hub.

One is a tech hub in Coimbra, standing desks, fast WiFi, coffee included. A proper place to work, with plans that fit however you work.

The other is the community that’s already here. Founders, engineers, designers, people building things. Events, talks, and the kind of conversations that happen when you put the right people in the same room.

On the 17th of June, the door is open. Come work with us for a day, for free.

AI is already part of how we build at Pink Room.

Not as a shortcut, but as part of how we plan, implement, validate, and ship mobile products.

Our approach is simple:

Plan with broad context.
Implement with tight scope.
Validate with human judgement.

Because moving faster only matters if the work stays reliable.
