    Left youtube on overnight and woke up to this...Im not even a dev guy lol sign of the gods
  • Amazing video, also thanks for the shoutout on the SVG animation/path/circular progress :)
  • Hey Vadim great video ! Some additional things that could be very interesting : how to get the device steps data to update automatically (either by subscribing or with timed calls) + how to filter out manual data. I managed it on my own after following the tutorial, but it's a bit hard. Also I'd suggest eas build to have better experience and reliability for the dev builds, at least on my end the run:ios and run:android with prebuild gave me a bunch of errors. Overall very cool tutorial !
