Hi everyone!

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!

Wake up Remix - The plan for Remix v3

This week you might have heard a rumor about Remix moving on from React. Ryan and Michael just published an official post describing the future of Remix.

In a nutshell, React Router will still be fully maintained and a safe bet. In parallel, Remix v3 will be a new framework based on a fork of Preact, so that they control the full stack.

Their goal with Remix v3 is “reimagining what a web framework can be”. The post describes the guiding principles this new framework will follow (optimize for LLMs, build on Web APIs, composition…)

💸 Product for Engineers - This is why you're not shipping
📜 The Beauty of TanStack Router: Dominik goes through the features that differentiate Tanstack Router: Type-safe routing with StrictOrFrom principle, Search Param State Management, File-Based Routing, and Suspense support.
📜 Composing Server and Client Components: The Modern React's Superpower: RSC contrasts sharply with the old days of script tags and global variables.
📜 Why React Error Boundaries Aren't Just Try/Catch for Components: They are declarative components that only catch render errors. This article shares various pragmatic tips such as using react-error-boundary package or how to plug a retry button.
📜 Next.js Server Actions are public-facing API endpoints: Server Actions can be called from Curl commands, the action ids can easily leak. They should be treated with the same security precautions as traditional public API endpoints.
📜 Your React Meta-Framework Feels Broken, Here's Why: RedwoodSDK tries to remove useless abstraction layers, conventions and other magic things that exist in Next.js and Remix.
📜 Building with React Server Components and Client Components in RedwoodSDK
📜 SolidJS for React Developers
📜 Building a Hold to Delete Component
📜 Understanding Hydration Errors by building a SSR React Project
📜 Why Composition Beats Inheritance In React
💸 The Road to Next - Master Full-Stack Web Development with Next.js 15 and React 19
📦 Docusaurus 3.8: Continues the work on faster builds, adds support for CSS Cascade layers, both behind “Future Flags”.
📦 Storybook 9.0: After many betas/RCs, it's finally out, but no official blog post yet.
📦 TanStack Query v5.77: Adds maxChunks to keep in the cache for streamed queries.
