Hi everyone!

This week we don't have one, but 2 interesting blog posts from Dan Abramov, and various React releases.

I found the mobile news particularly interesting, with Expo 53, Skia Graphite, Reanimated Shared Elements Transitions, and the Apple fees court injunction.

My fellows at ui.dev are also launching the final content of their react.gg course (30% off now), designed to teach you all the brand-new React 19 concepts from first principles. I got access to review it and can assure you that it's a really playful way to learn React, full of interactive examples, visualizations and pragmatic quizzes.

Hi everyone!

I hope you've recovered from last week's React Labs news 🔥. This week is of course quieter, but still interesting, with great community articles, weak signals to look at, and a few releases.

Make sure to upgrade your React Router v7 app, and bump to Node.js >= 18!

Hi everyone!

This week we have a great Next.js release with significant build speed improvements. I'm also quite excited to see the activity around the upcoming React <Activity> component. Many great community blog posts to read too!

React Native also has great releases with the new Expo SDK in beta, and the next version of FlashList in alpha.

Hi everyone!

This week, you probably didn't miss the Next.js middleware drama, but that wasn't the only thing going on!

We also got many great releases such as tRPC, React Query, Rsdoctor and more!

Also, React Native is 10 years old today! 🥳

Hi everyone!

This week we have:

  • React: A good mix of content and many community articles, but no major announcements.
  • React Native: The 2024 survey results are out, infra libraries now support RN 0.78, and Nitro Views have been released!

Hi everyone!

This week we have a good variety of React articles and Next.js is finally adding support for Node.js runtime middleware!

Mobile developers will also discover future plans for React Native, including desktop support from Microsoft. A new sortables drag & drop library should unlock new interactions in your app, considering it's quite hard to build all this yourself.

TypeScript continues to progress with a new beta including a flag to support the newly added native Node.js support, and the upcoming browser support. A polyfill for native browser support is already available!

I'm trying something new this week, splitting the newsletter title keywords with a |, following the pattern React keywords | React Native keywords | Other keywords. Do you think this is useful?
