Hi everyone!

This week we have:

  • React: A good mix of content and many community articles, but no major announcements.
  • React Native: The 2024 survey results are out, infra libraries now support RN 0.78, and Nitro Views have been released!
  • Other: Several TC39 proposals are progressing—my favorites are import defer and RegExp.escape().

I'm trying something new, let me know if you like the intro to be split by section like above.

Hi everyone!

This week we have a good variety of React articles and Next.js is finally adding support for Node.js runtime middleware!

Mobile developers will also discover future plans for React Native, including desktop support from Microsoft. A new sortables drag & drop library should unlock new interactions in your app, considering it's quite hard to build all this yourself.

TypeScript continues to progress with a new beta including a flag to support the newly added native Node.js support, and the upcoming browser support. A polyfill for native browser support is already available!

I'm trying something new this week, splitting the newsletter title keywords with a |, following the pattern React keywords | React Native keywords | Other keywords. Do you think this is useful?

Hi everyone!

It's been a fairly quiet week compared with the previous one, and I couldn't pick any headliner!

The most important news for our ecosystem is probably the official deprecation of Create React App. There's also Tailwind v4 and Standard Schema v1.

I'm quite excited by the upcoming TypeScript 5.8 erasableSyntaxOnly flag that forbids usage of features such as enums. This is the path toward making your app compatible Node.js built-in support, and maybe browsers too in the future.

Hi everyone!

This is a crazy week, we have a lot of major releases coming from everywhere, in all the sections of this newsletter, that it's impossible to cover them all as they deserve.

I'm particularly excited about the React Native ecosystem improving CSS compatibility with v0.77 and Reanimated v4. This is awesome news for cross-platform development compatibility.

The frontend ecosystem is on fire too 🔥 with awesome releases such as Bun 1.2, Rspack 1.2, Vitest 3.0.

And, Tailwind v4 is expected to drop anytime soon too ! (just after I hit send of course 😅)

Hi everyone!

Cyril and Matthieu from Theodo Apps here 👋, standing in for Seb to bring you the latest news from React and React Native!

The previous edition was last Friday, so this one will be a bit shorter than usual. We’re resuming the usual pace of one newsletter every week after the holidays.

The 2024 edition of JS rising stars is out, you can start by having a look at which libraries performed well on this flawed but still useful metric of GitHub starts. Spoiler: shadcn/ui gained the most stars (again). Sébastien commented the Tooling section.

Hi everyone!

We initially planned to return on 8th January.
But here I am a little earlier, wishing you all a Happy New Year! 🎉
With the end-of-year festivities, it's been a quiet week for React, as you'd expect.

I also take the opportunity to share a little newsletter retrospective, and thank you once again for reading the newsletter and making all this possible.

In 2024 the newsletter went from being a sustainable project to a break-even business. This allows me to invest more in the project and improve the content. Let's share some concrete figures from 2023 to 2024 :

  • 📈 Subscribers: 31k ➡️ 46k - A great +15k subscribers increase this year. Not exponential as I expected, but still very nice!
  • 👥 Writers: 1 ➡️ 4 - I'm no longer the sole writer of this curation newsletter: Benedikt, Matthieu and Cyril have backed me up when I was unavailable.
  • 📨 Issues: 38 ➡️ 47 - Onboarding other writers allowed us to send out an email almost every week!
  • 💰 Income: 47k€ ➡️ 99k€ ARR - We are getting good as sales, and have successfully convinced most companies we wanted to work with to sponsor us.
  • 💸 Charges: 15k€ ➡️ 36k€ - We have increased our charges significantly this year by onboarding guest newsletter writers (14k€). The other charges are ads (12k€), SaaS (7k€) and virtual assistants (3k€).

Overall I think it has been a great 2024 year, looking forward to a promising future. I didn't reach my ambitious goal of 50k subscribers, but I'm not too far. After the summer, it became more challenging to grow, not sure why. I still reached another important symbolic milestone: having more newsletter subscribers than Twitter followers, becoming less dependent of social platforms.

In 2025, I'd like the newsletter to be more than just a list of curation emails. I plan to onboard guest writers, paying them to produce a series of articles on topics they are passionate about. If you think you'd be a great fit, reply and say hi! 👋

If you'd like to help me realize my plans, please share the newsletter with a friend or colleague who might enjoy it, or on any social platform.
