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!
