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!

Hi everyone!

Looks like it's the end of summer already, eh?

This week we had many great releases and articles!
I'm particularly excited about React Email, which I'd like to use for an upcoming newsletter email template, and for Rspack that I'm adopting for Docusaurus to replace webpack.

Many great articles, but no major React release or announcement.

Hi everyone!

This week the State of React survey results are finally out, and they are full of interesting insights.

I found some great articles on abstractions in React, as well as feedback and case studies from various React and React Native companies.

Astro has released Server Islands, and it looks like a pretty simple but compelling solution to rival with Next.js Partial Prerendering, on which Vercel also published a great article. There's also the Renaissance of Meteor to look forward to, React Aria releases, and a v2 of Gluestack-UI for Universal React Native devs.

Do you like TypeScript and web dev tooling in general? Check out Squiggle Conf (🇺🇸 Boston - 03 & 04 October), offering us a 10% discount with code “TWIR”. Great speakers have already been announced!

Hi everyone!

The newsletter is back after a well-deserved 2-weeks break!

So we're covering three weeks of news in one issue, and there are too many links to squeeze into one e-mail, so I had to filter out the news more aggressively. Despite the holiday season, we had a lot of great community React articles, and quite interesting React Native news!

If you really like the exhaustive side of this newsletter, I'd encourage you to check the online version this time: it exceptionally contains extra sections with twice more links that you might still find interesting. This also gives you a hint of the value I provide: the work you don't see is all the articles that I gathered and read/skimmed over and had to filter out.

Check out our partner conf React-Brussels (🇧🇪 Brussels - 18 October), offering us a 10% discount with code “TWIR”. Some speakers have already been revealed!
