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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

Hi everyone!

I hope you've recovered from last week's React Labs news 🔥. This week is of course quieter, but still interesting, with great community articles, weak signals to look at, and a few releases.

Make sure to upgrade your React Router v7 app, and bump to Node.js >= 18!

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.
