Hi everyone!

This week React developers have either been super grateful or busy spending money on useless things. Luckily, Astro is here to make the headline. We also have 2 great React perf articles.

The React Native ecosystem has been more active, with the official launch of Radon IDE, and many interesting releases.

Node 22.12 is here, with require(esm) enabled by default in LTS! There's also a TC39 meeting in progress with ES proposals progressing, but that's for next week!

Hi everyone!

It's another great week for React with exciting releases, notably React Router 7 and Vite 6. TanStack nearly steals the show!

The React Native ecosystem is not left behind with 0.77 in RC, Legend List, Screens... and a quite exciting Wasm-based innovation.

Hi everyone!

Cyril and Matthieu from Theodo Apps (formerly BAM) here 👋, standing in for Seb to bring you the latest news from React and React Native!

Big news from the React world this week! React 19 is back in RC, six months after its initial release was postponed. The suspense over Suspense is finally easing with the introduction of pre-warming.

Expo is making waves during its launch party, and the excitement keeps building! 🚀

The newly announced Expo Workflows promises to revolutionize CI/CD for React Native apps with pre-packaged jobs, intelligent machine selection, and seamless automation — streamlining the entire release process.

Meanwhile, Universal React Server Components in Expo Router have entered beta, marking a major milestone in the journey toward server-first React Native development.

And the party isn’t over yet! 🎉 Stay tuned for next week’s issue, where we’ll dive into even more announcements from Expo’s ongoing celebration.

Also check our partner conf React Paris 2025 (🇫🇷 Paris - 20 & 21 March). Kick off your year with one of the first dev conferences of 2025! Speakers include Dominik 'TkDodo' Dorfmeister, Kent C. Dodds, and Aurora Scharff. CFPs are open, and you can get 20% off tickets with code "TWIR"!

Hi everyone!

This week has been calm on the React side, I couldn't really pick any headline despite various interesting releases and articles.

Once again, the React Native ecosystem is on fire, with Expo 52, but not only!

Last chance to answer the State of React 2024 survey that is closing soon. But don't worry, I'll now annoy you with another one that just opened 😃: State of JS 2024.

We'd be super grateful if you'd share this newsletter or support us here :

Hi everyone!

No major React announcements this week, probably due to the US presidential election.

But we still had a bunch of exciting React and React Native and great community articles. I'm particularly excited about the React Compiler direction, and the release of React Navigation 7 with a new screen preloading API. Shopify's React Native endorsement is also great news for our ecosystem. Of course, I'm happy to unveil what I've been working on for months on Docusaurus too!

Don't forget to answer the State of React 2024 survey. It's closing next week, and we still have less answers than last year so far. If you have an audience, please help spread the word, and add a ?source=my_name parameter so that survey bias can be tracked.

Hi everyone!

This is another great React week.

Vercel has unveiled new super-interesting caching APIs for Next.js, and the React Native ecosystem is on fire!

On my side, I'm a bit tired of Twitter penalizing me for commenting external links. I'm giving Bluesky a try (@sebastienlorber.com). Come say hi if you are there.

Don't forget to fill in the State of React survey, and mention that you read the newsletter 😇.

Hi everyone!

Cyril and Matthieu from Theodo Apps (formerly BAM) here 👋, standing in for Seb to bring you the latest news from the React and React Native worlds.

Big updates this week for the React world! Next.js 15 is officially out with key changes around caching and performance, plus the React Compiler has hit beta — lots to look forward to there.

We’ve got a bunch of great articles too, from optimizing state with React Cache to a deep dive into React Native's new architecture.

Speaking of React Native, v0.76 is coming very soon! A major milestone as it's the first version to activate the New Architecture by default, the culmination of years of work that deserves to be celebrated! 🥳️

The State of React 2024 survey is now open and waiting your answers.

Let’s dive in!

Hi everyone!

This week we have a major Next.js RC release dropping just before Next.js Conf, many diverse releases, and great interactive blog posts.

The React Native world is quite active too, with many great releases from infrastructure packages you probably rely on. I heard v0.76 stable is around the corner!

Node.js 23 is out, and we have 4 new features ready to be standardized in ES2025!

🙏 The newsletter isn't growing as fast as it used to. I'd really appreciate it if you'd recommend it to your friends and colleagues. You can just forward them this email (or the online version link), and they'll decide if it's worth subscribing to. Thanks!
