Hi everyone, Seb and Jan here 👋!

This week, the React Compiler in Rust is rolling out, and early adopters have already reported significant speedups.

React Native 0.86 finally came out with edge-to-edge fixes in core. It’s retro-compatible, and Expo SDK 56 should be able to upgrade.

This week, we’re taking a look at the new React Foundation website, as the React core repositories transition to their new home. All eyes on the React Compiler in Rust, coming soon in your everyday toolchain.

React Native 0.86 is almost here, but releases apparently like to land on Wednesday evenings 😅 so we’ll cover it next week. Let’s focus on React Native Runtimes instead, a quite interesting multi-threading innovation.

Cloudflare has acquired VoidZero, and npm v12 will officially block postinstall scripts by default in July, improving our supply chain security.

Hi everyone, Kacper and Filip from Software Mansion here.

This week, TanStack Start is once again in the spotlight. The React Compiler in Rust is on its way. React Router and Remix shipped important security patches – update immediately. There's also a fresh batch of releases from TanStack Form, XState Store, shadcn, React Aria, and more.

On the React Native side, this week was dominated by App.js Conf 2026 in Kraków. Gesture Handler 3.0, Swift Package Manager support for React Native, and Legend List 3.0 were among the highlights, alongside Expo announcements like EAS Observe.

Let's go!

Hi everyone, Seb and Jan here 👋!

This week we have great deep dive blog posts about data fetching (TanStack vs Next.js) and performance (GitHub and Linear).

On the React Native side, Expo dropped a major SDK with Expo UI stable. Reanimated leverages the shared animation backend and improves CSS animations on iOS.

Supply chain security remains an important topic. npm introduced staged publishing workflows, and will block postinstall scripts by default in the near future.

Hi everyone, Seb and Jan here 👋!

It looks like security is going to be a hot topic this year! 😅
More packages are being compromised, and blog posts are also covering recent RSC vulnerabilities.
Maybe we’re reaching a tipping point, and better security practices will consolidate this year.

On the React Native side, Hermes-node is quite exciting, although it’s very early.

An exciting TC39 meeting is currently underway, and several proposals have already progressed.
Yarn and npm are improving on the security side.
Bun and pnpm are being ported to Rust.

Let's dive in!

Hi everyone, Seb and Jan here 👋!

This week, security is making headlines, as two major React frameworks have announced vulnerabilities and compromised npm packages!

Hi everyone, Seb and Jan here 👋!

It’s another quiet week in React, but there’s still plenty of interesting links to check out about the TanStack and powerful new Remotion capabilities.

React Native had a busier week, with a diverse mix of releases, great articles, and ecosystem updates.

Let's dive in!

Hi everyone, Konrad and Kacper from Software Mansion here! 👋

A quiet week — no big headlines — but still a couple of solid articles and releases in the React ecosystem.

On the React side, the WIP React Compiler in Rust is being tested at Meta. We also have a 18-month retrospective on the React Compiler, a deep dive into how React streams UI, and a step-by-step guide for migrating from Radix UI to Base UI. There's also a fresh batch of releases, including React Hook Form, Chakra UI, Mantine 9.1, and TanStack Query.

On the React Native front, an RFC has landed proposing Swift Package Manager support to replace CocoaPods, and React Navigation v8 will gain a retain API to keep screens mounted after going back. Don't miss the blog on making pure JSI code faster.

Let's dive in!

Hi everyone, Krzysztof and Filip from Software Mansion here 👋!

Big releases anchor the week. React Email 6.0 consolidates a fragmented ecosystem into one package, unlocking an embeddable editor and more reliable HTML rendering across mailboxes.

On mobile, Marc Rousavy shipped VisionCamera v5 with a full Nitro Modules rewrite, Worklets integration, pro controls, and a modular plugin architecture.
Heads up on the Vercel April 2026 incident: rotate your integration tokens if you use third-party integrations.

Also inside: Expo’s Series B, Seth Webster joining Expo, the Doctolib WebView-to-Native migration, and fresh releases from TanStack, React Hook Form, ExecuTorch, TS Go beta, Rspack RSC, and more.

Let’s dive in!

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!
