Hi everyone, Seb and Jan here πŸ‘‹!

It looks like security is going to be a hot topic this year! πŸ˜…
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 πŸ‘‹!

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!

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.

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.

Let's dive in!
