Hi everyone!

This week I'm excited about a promising new headless component library, and I've found various interesting articles about Web Components relevant to React developers.

On the mobile side, Google introduced Android XR and React Native support is already coming!

Hi everyone!

This week React developers have either been super grateful or busy spending money on useless things. Luckily, Astro is here to make the headline. We also have 2 great React perf articles.

The React Native ecosystem has been more active, with the official launch of Radon IDE, and many interesting releases.

Node 22.12 is here, with require(esm) enabled by default in LTS! There's also a TC39 meeting in progress with ES proposals progressing, but that's for next week!

Hi everyone!

It's another great week for React with exciting releases, notably React Router 7 and Vite 6. TanStack nearly steals the show!

The React Native ecosystem is not left behind with 0.77 in RC, Legend List, Screens... and a quite exciting Wasm-based innovation.

What's this fancy e-mail on a Monday? Well, we're trying something new!

Last week, React Summit US 2024 took place in New York. The videos will be online soon. In the meantime, we partnered with the organizers to send you a recap of a few selected talks.

Hi everyone!

This week has been calm on the React side, I couldn't really pick any headline despite various interesting releases and articles.

Once again, the React Native ecosystem is on fire, with Expo 52, but not only!

Last chance to answer the State of React 2024 survey that is closing soon. But don't worry, I'll now annoy you with another one that just opened 😃: State of JS 2024.

We'd be super grateful if you'd share this newsletter or support us here :

Hi everyone!

No major React announcements this week, probably due to the US presidential election.

But we still had a bunch of exciting React and React Native and great community articles. I'm particularly excited about the React Compiler direction, and the release of React Navigation 7 with a new screen preloading API. Shopify's React Native endorsement is also great news for our ecosystem. Of course, I'm happy to unveil what I've been working on for months on Docusaurus too!

Don't forget to answer the State of React 2024 survey. It's closing next week, and we still have less answers than last year so far. If you have an audience, please help spread the word, and add a ?source=my_name parameter so that survey bias can be tracked.

Hi everyone!

This is another great React week.

Vercel has unveiled new super-interesting caching APIs for Next.js, and the React Native ecosystem is on fire!

On my side, I'm a bit tired of Twitter penalizing me for commenting external links. I'm giving Bluesky a try (@sebastienlorber.com). Come say hi if you are there.

Don't forget to fill in the State of React survey, and mention that you read the newsletter 😇.

Hi everyone!

This week we have a major Next.js RC release dropping just before Next.js Conf, many diverse releases, and great interactive blog posts.

The React Native world is quite active too, with many great releases from infrastructure packages you probably rely on. I heard v0.76 stable is around the corner!

Node.js 23 is out, and we have 4 new features ready to be standardized in ES2025!

🙏 The newsletter isn't growing as fast as it used to. I'd really appreciate it if you'd recommend it to your friends and colleagues. You can just forward them this email (or the online version link), and they'll decide if it's worth subscribing to. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

It's been another exciting week with great React cross-platform announcements at the Meta Connect event giving positive feedback on the usage of React Compiler, StyleX, React Strict DOM, and Hermes. I'm also excited for the React Compiler to add official support for React 18 and React 17 (experimental).

On the React Native side, we also had great releases and announcements, notably a new cross-platform framework from the Tamagui team, Zeego 2, native bottom tabs, and RN Storybook 8.

In the frontend world, Deno 2.0 just came out, and we also have a very exciting TC39 meeting happening right now.

Happy reading!
