Hi everyone, Seb and Jan here 👋!
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.
Let's dive in!

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.

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.

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 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 😅
