Hi everyone, Seb and Jan here 👋!

This week we finally have an experimental version of TanStack RSC! A new React DoS vulnerability affects Server Functions, so you probably need to upgrade React again. There are also important releases from the MUI team, and Styled Components is still alive!

On the React Native side, we got a new universal Haptics library, and a much faster fetch alternative. We heard VisionCamera 5 is around the corner.

Let's dive in!

Hi there, Seb and Jan here 👋!

This week brings a collection of smaller, yet still noteworthy, React releases and articles.

On the React Native side, v0.85 just dropped with a new Shared Animation backend. Speaking of animations, we have a little sneak peek of exciting things coming, such as <ViewTransition> and Skia Graphite.

With the recent surge in npm supply chain attacks, it’s worth reviewing the npm Security Best Practices guide to secure your setup.

Hi everyone, Seb and Jan here 👋!

This week, we have news about popular React meta-frameworks. Next.js Adapters API should help host it anywhere without compromise. TanStack Start unveils a preview of its React Server Components. The React Compiler port to Rust is being actively worked on.

No major announcement in the React Native world, but still many interesting releases. React Native v0.85 should be released next week.

Axios has been compromised in a major supply chain attack. Stay safe and make sure to adopt security best practices!

Hi everyone, Seb here 👋!

This week: a new Next.js release, a React Aria-based UI library, Remotion updates, Storybook MCP, and more.

On React Native, multi-threading keeps improving (Worklets, Reanimated), and React Navigation v8 looks close.

Sorry for the weird duplicate email last week, just a mistake 😅

Hi everyone, Seb and Jan here 👋!

This week, RedwoodSDK 1.0 dropped, and other meta-frameworks improved their SSR performance. A bunch of content related to Async React and the TanStack too!

On the React Native side, Expo UI support for Jetpack Compose is quite exciting. A new animation library could also be an interesting alternative to Reanimated CSS transitions.

Temporal has finally reached stage 4! We also have great announcements from the Vue.js conf that remain relevant for React developers, notably Vite 8.

Let's dive in!

Hi everyone! Filip and Tymek from Software Mansion here! 👋

Hope your week is going well 😄 In today's news, we bring you a slightly calmer React section, but there is much more going on in React Native. Astro 6.0 has been released, Expo announces an agentic platform and new SDK for observability and metrics, and React Navigation developers are planning to add a new way to load data in screens.

There's more — interesting canary PRs for Next.js, React Native Evals, TypeScript 6.0 RC announcement, new guides from Expo, and beyond!

Let's dive deep into the content 🎉

Hi everyone!

This week is rather quiet in the React world, so we took a step back on Vinext, found great community blog posts, and weak signals.

On the React Native side, let’s welcome our new author, Jan Jaworski, who covered the new Expo SDK and the State of React Native survey results, among many other things.

Let's dive in!

Hello everyone, Krzysztof and Kacper from Software Mansion here 👋

The React Foundation officially launched. Cloudflare rebuilt the whole Next.js in a week using AI. In the meantime, the real Next.js is adding version-matched docs so agents always have context on new and recently updated APIs.

On the React Native side, Hermes is moving beyond mobile: Hermes-node brings the engine to Node.js as a potential V8 swap. CSS Grid is also coming to React Native, and TanStack Router has an early PoC running natively.

Hi everyone!

Huge thanks ❤️ — we just hit #1 resource on the State of React 2025 survey. Wild.

This week leans heavily into TanStack and Next.js content, plus a few notable releases worth your time.

On mobile, Hermes is clearly ramping up, and ByteDance just lowered the barrier to building Lynx apps.

Let’s dive in.

Hi everyone!

This week, we have a good variety of React content, with great community articles and various releases. Many generative UI solutions are emerging, and I’m curious to better understand how they differ from one another.

React Native 0.84 just dropped, and Gesture Handler 3 is in beta. Expo SDK 55 should also be out soon.
