Hi everyone!

This week is relatively calm in terms of React news, but I’m saving an exciting React core update for next week, so don't miss my next email 👀!

On the React Native side, we have so many links that it’s a bit overwhelming 😆 And Expo SDK 54 is not even out yet!

Beware of the massive npm supply chain attack affecting very popular packages such as chalk and debug. To mitigate the impact of compromised dependencies, package managers such as pnpm and Yarn are considering an option to avoid installing freshly published packages. This could give enough time for security scanners to report vulnerabilities.

Hi everyone!

This week, we have a very diverse set of React news, but my eyes are on the React Native announcements made at React Universe Conf. Apparently, React Native 1.0 is on the horizon, and we have a bunch of related memes!

Hi everyone!

It seems that the React community is already back from vacation, as we have a whole series of interesting articles and releases. I also found interesting PRs and discussions to check out!

Nx user? Beware of the current critical supply chain attack.

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

After a short summer break, we’re happy to say we’re back! I think we could open a public swimming pool because we’re drowning in the amount of content this week.

This week was full of big releases: Vercel released Next.js 15.5, React Native 0.81 was launched, and last but not least, we finally have the long-awaited FlashList 2 with great performance and cool features.

So let’s get into it!

Hi everyone!

This week, we have a few interesting React releases, many of them from the TanStack ecosystem. I also found great articles and interesting PRs to look at.

On the React Native side, reducing iOS build times will be a very welcome improvement, and Rozenite could significantly improve the React Native DX too!

A TC39 meeting is in progress, and I’ve also heard TS 5.9 and Node 22.18 (the first LTS to unflag type stripping) are both around the corner!

The newsletter will be taking a well-deserved 2-week break 🏝️
We'll be back on August 20. Until then, keep Reacting ✌️

Hi everyone!

Apparently, not everyone is on vacation yet because it's a great week.

On the React side, we have an early version of React Server Components support in React Router, and a new comprehensive React Compiler docs.

It's even more exciting for React Native developers: Reanimated v4 is now stable, and Screens now support native tabs, coming soon in Expo!

I also take the opportunity to warn that an npm phishing attack is currently in progress, targeting maintainers of popular packages. Don't trust any email coming from npmjs.org, they are spoofed.

Hi everyone! Tomek and Tymek from Software Mansion here! 👋

This week, we're coming with some interesting announcements and even more noteworthy news. Next.js 15.4 has been announced, bringing full Turbopack support and stability improvements.

On the React Native side, 0.81 is getting closer and closer to us as the new release candidate shows and there’s a couple of new announcements around react-native-worklets, react-native-wallet, and Module Federation Metro and Node API support for React Native.

We hope you are already excited because there is much more interesting news to come.

Let's get into it!

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!
