Hi everyone! Kacper and Krzysztof from Software Mansion here! 👋

It definitely feels like everyone caught the lazy summer vibe as the whole world went on vacation but we still managed to carve out something interesting for you to read.

We’ve learned how Meta renders React server-side (which is crazy, actually) and Vercel has made some interesting moves in the metaframework sphere by acquiring NuxtLabs.

From the React Native ecosystem, we have React Native Unistyles 3.0, now marked as stable, and we’ve seen the first RC of React Native 0.81, although without any additional context whatsoever.

Enjoy the read!

Hi everyone!

It's been a hot C° week here, but pretty calm in terms of React news. We still got various little releases, interesting blog posts and weak signals that show us what the future might look like.

On the React Native side, the community is adopting Nitro Modules in various libraries, and Skia got built-in support for Lottie animations.

ES2025 has been approved, and TS 5.9 beta should come anytime soon.

Hi everyone!

Cyril and Matthieu from Theodo Apps here 👋.

This week in the React ecosystem, there's a bit of a stir around Radix and shadcn/ui. Some devs are weighing alternatives like Base UI, while shadcn highlights their long-term adaptability. We’ve also got fresh official guides from the Next.js team and some tooling updates like Vite 7, Apollo Client v4 RC, and Prettier 3.6’s fast CLI.

On the React Native side, the graphics game is leveling up fast with WebGPU and Skia Graphite unlocking smoother 2D/3D rendering and broader platform support. And if you’re into performance tricks, don’t miss how Reddit shaved 20% off their iOS app size.

Let's dive in!

Hi everyone! Krzysztof and Tomasz from Software Mansion here 👋

It's been a fairly calm week for the React ecosystem, but not for the React Native world. Meta has made an exciting announcement about the release of React Native 0.80, where they've decided to officially freeze the Old Architecture. Make sure you're ready to adapt your app to the New Architecture, as it seems like it could be the last moment to do so.

Hi everyone!

This week is relatively calm in the React ecosystem, but we still have various interesting blog posts and releases. Maybe we'll soon get some exciting news from React Summit that's about on Friday!

On the React Native side, all the devs are already working on iOS 26 Liquid Glass support and other things announced by Apple yesterday. This new design thing is rather controversial and subject to a lot of mockery 😂. React Native 0.80 is just around the corner, I'll keep all this for later, but you can get a sneak peek in Alex Hunt talk at App.js.

The JS ecosystem has been rather active with Oxlint 1.0 and various interesting Node.js news.

Hi everyone!

I thought I was on schedule for today's issue, until I realized that Dan Abramov wrote 4 RSC blog posts this week 😂. We also get great releases, including Storybook, LiveStore, Base UI, and the Lingo Compiler is a quite exciting innovation. The community is still processing last week's Remix awakening with many videos and podcasts commenting on the news.

React Native devs were at App.js last week, where the React Native team unveiled their plan to freeze the Legacy Architecture.

The last TC39 meeting was also quite productive, with 3 proposals progressing to stage 4 among other things. We also got various interesting announcements from the Vite ecosystem.

Hi everyone!

Cyril and Matthieu from Theodo Apps here 👋.

This week, the Remix team announced some big news. Microsoft has also made it easier to try out TypeScript Go rewriting.

In the React Native world, there were a few minor but interesting releases, and the App.js config starts tomorrow. Seb will have more to tell you about it next week.

Let's dive in!

Hi everyone!

This week, we're delighted to finally have a preview of React Server Components support in React Router. I've also found some very interesting PRs on the React repo, and give you a glimpse of what could be coming soon!

The React Native ecosystem is surprisingly calm, but no doubt they keep everything secret for App.js Conf next week!

By the way, I would really appreciate your support. Now that I'm automatically removing cold subscribers, the newsletter is decreasing over time 😅. Any retweet, like, engagement, or testimonial really helps me! Please convince your friends to subscribe ❤️

Hi everyone!

Kacper and Tymek from Software Mansion here 👋.

With a slightly quieter week, we come mostly with great articles we think you might like, alongside a few interesting releases! We're so excited about the Vite team working on RSC support, a new React Query proposal, in conjunction with the features coming in React Native 0.80, but there are still many new topics here to look at.

Let's dive in!

Hi everyone!

This week we don't have one, but 2 interesting blog posts from Dan Abramov, and various React releases.

I found the mobile news particularly interesting, with Expo 53, Skia Graphite, Reanimated Shared Elements Transitions, and the Apple fees court injunction.

My fellows at ui.dev are also launching the final content of their react.gg course (30% off now), designed to teach you all the brand-new React 19 concepts from first principles. I got access to review it and can assure you that it's a really playful way to learn React, full of interactive examples, visualizations and pragmatic quizzes.
