Hi everyone!

Cyril and Matthieu from Theodo Apps here 👋.

This week, the Remix team announced some big news. Microsoft has also made it easier to try out TypeScript Go rewriting.

In the React Native world, there were a few minor but interesting releases, and the App.js config starts tomorrow. Seb will have more to tell you about it next week.

Let's dive in!

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!

Kacper and Tymek from Software Mansion here 👋.

With a slightly quieter week, we come mostly with great articles we think you might like, alongside a few interesting releases! We're so excited about the Vite team working on RSC support, a new React Query proposal, in conjunction with the features coming in React Native 0.80, but there are still many new topics here to look at.

Let's dive in!

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, I'm excited to introduce 2 new contributors to help me with the newsletter!

Tomasz and Kacper from Software Mansion here – you may already know us from libraries like Reanimated or Gesture Handler. We're happy to be among the authors of the This Week in React newsletter!

We were about to call it a fairly calm week… until React Conf 2025 was officially announced and React Native 0.79 dropped with Swift-compatible native modules for iOS, faster app startup on Android, and many more. Let's dive in!

Hey everyone!

Cyril and Matthieu here from Theodo Apps 👋 with your weekly dose of React and React Native updates, while Seb is busy enjoying the React Native Connection conf!

React 19.1 just dropped with better error handling and deeper integration for Server Components in Parcel. Meanwhile, Tailwind CSS 4.1 is right around the corner, and the community is buzzing with hot takes on CSS-in-JS. On the React Native side, the golden RC for 0.79 is out, and ExecuTorch v0.4.0 is landing soon with exciting AI features.

Let’s get into it! 🚀

Hi everyone!

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

Also, React Native is 10 years old today! 🥳
