    .@aidenybai we've concluded Composer experiment that addresses perf issues you reported in your React Scan talk ~10x faster with 200L+ words. Thank you once again! Inc. less & targeted checks, & conditional debounced batches. We'll look into porting these to Autolinks OSS plugin

    Thank you for your talk today Aiden! For those who're curious this is part of the automatic link detection (a helper function in the custom ~AutoLinkPlugin that runs on top of Lexical). As you well pointed out turns out the Regex logic is too cumbersome. Noted!

    Starting from the next version of create-react-app @reactjs , dependencies will be transpiled. No more @UglifyJS issues when using Node libraries on the client side. github.com/facebookincuba… by @dan_abramov

    The OSS version is >2x faster due to a simpler Regex but this shows that repeated Regex searches (at every keypress) over large Node content can be particularly slow. We'll look into abstracting this plugin pattern it can be generalized to others such as Mentions. cc @vinndixie

    Sometimes @code REGEX replacement can come really handy. Find: @string{ ([a-z]+) = "([a-zA-Z]+)" } Replace: @preamble{ "\\newcommand{\\$1}{$2}" }

    Exactly, @uport_me gives the dev the option the choose which information to request, and the user is shown and set to confirm the information to be shared. Either way, at #uSocial we keep most of the requested info on the client-side only. See: github.com/zurfyx/usocial…

    Had a blast answering @lexicaljs questions today on reddit.com/r/javascript/ and r/reactjs - so much I have to tell my 95 poor souls/followers on Twitter :D - there's genuine excitement about the project!

    Thank you so much Jonathan! For years you've not only been a best friend for me but also a mentor. It would've definitely not been possible without you! ♥

    Good Q. Tests (internal & OSS) + community feedback. Autolinks plugin fork is unintentional, at Meta we try to reuse as much OSS as we can for this reason+maintenance cost. Also props to our close partnership with Bloomberg @ivailop who're also OSS first+strong quality advocates

    Thanks for the feedback Ben! Remix works when loaded client-side (community feedback discord.com/channels/95397…). Happy to take an extra hand on the ESM module
