Hi everyone!

Hi everyone!

This week we have a great Next.js release with significant build speed improvements. I'm also quite excited to see the activity around the upcoming React <Activity> component. Many great community blog posts to read too!

React Native also has great releases with the new Expo SDK in beta, and the next version of FlashList in alpha.

Hi everyone!

This week, you probably didn't miss the Next.js middleware drama, but that wasn't the only thing going on!

We also got many great releases such as tRPC, React Query, Rsdoctor and more!

Also, React Native is 10 years old today! 🥳

Hi everyone!

This week we have:

• React: A good variety of articles, and great releases from React Router and React Aria.
• React Native: Lots of cool things happening, and the community reacting to Lynx.
• Other: TypeScript announcing an exciting port to Go.

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 2 official blog posts from the React and React Native core teams! CRA is deprecated and React Native 0.78 is out with React 19 support.

🎂 We're also celebrating this newsletter's 5th anniversary! The first issue went out on February 13th. For the first 2 years it was only in French. I’d love to know who's been reading since the early days—say hi if you have! 😀

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 😅)
