Hi everyone!

This week we have some nice releases with Astro 2.0 and Remix 1.11. Also some interesting content around Server Components.

React-Native is not left out with Expo Router in release candidate, Expo Image in beta, and a new solution to create Android widgets.

I was invited to the show Learn With Jason - Create and deploy a documentation website in which Jason makes his first steps on Docusaurus.

Discover the ES.next News newsletter, a good source of information to keep up to date on the evolution of the JavaScript language, the TC39 committee and JS tooling like ESLint, Babel, Bun, Prettier...

Hi everyone!

We're gradually coming out of the holiday season. There are quite a few blog posts; but no major announcements apart from React-Native 0.71.

I'm back from a ski vacation and back on the weekly newsletter schedule. I didn't follow everything but I think the Twitter drama of the week was about Tailwind? 😅

Only 2 days left to take the State of React-Native survey 🙏

For creative web devs interested in React-Three-Fiber, subscribe to the Web Game Dev newsletter: you will find more info than here.

Hi everyone and happy new year 2023 🍾🥂🥳️

In this holiday season, there was still quite a bit of activity with a Next.js release and some great React articles. And the React-Native ecosystem has been particularly active as well, with Tamagui, TypeScript support and 2 Shopify articles.

You are now over 15000 subscribers reading me every week 😍

Thanks for your loyalty and contribution to the growth of this project. I'll be doing a 2022 retrospective soon to reveal everything. In the meantime, you'll find lots of info on my Indie Hackers page.

The newsletter is back early: I postponed my ski week, because there is not much snow 😅 Next edition on January 17th.

Oh, and I finally managed to create a viral meme 🥲

Hi everyone!

This week is pretty busy for an end of the year 🤪 I'll let you discover it all.

My episode for the React Round Up podcast is online. It's about the latest React 18 features, MDX or even Docusaurus.

👋 Last edition of the year. The newsletter will be back on January 10th!

🎄 Happy holidays 🎅

Hi everyone!

We have some nice articles this week. I liked to discover how React-Query is implemented, or the latest Storybook news.

Nextra v2 is a serious challenger for Docusaurus!

A nice React documentary is being created, and the trailer is available 🙌

It's also quite active on React-Native side! There are some great releases, a State of React-Native survey in the works.

For this edition, I put the images below the title/text, don't hesitate to tell me if it's better like that or if you prefer above?

Hi everyone!

As you might expect with Thanksgiving, it's a rather quiet week in terms of React news.

It's the end of Black Friday, but some offers are still valid.

If your company is recruiting, I also offer a discount of -50% on job offer ads. Don't hesitate to talk to your HR or your manager, it helps me a lot!

Hi everyone!

This week is Black Friday. I created a page with the best deals for a React dev. I already found some of them, but some are not announced yet, so come back on Friday ;)

I finally have the opportunity to put tRPC in the spotlight, with official releases and a great article comparing it to GraphQL!

We also have some great Remix-related content in general.

I like the direction React-Native takes!

Don't forget to fill out the State Of JS survey! Glad Docusaurus made it this year. Feel free to suggest the newsletter for the resources 😏 with some luck it will be featured next year 🙌

Hi everyone!

After a few intense weeks, the React ecosystem slows down a bit in terms of major announcements.

We still have some very good articles coming out. The TypeScript plugin for Next.js looks awesome!

The GitHub Universe conference has ended. GitHub seems to be using React more and more, on some views, and also via GitHub Blocks based on MDX.

Hi everyone!

It was Jamstack Conf this week, and we had some nice announcements for the occasion, like Tanstack Router, Gatsby 5 or the results of their annual survey.

Expo released its superb SDK 47. The 1st release-candidate React-Native 0.71 leads to some Android build issues 😅.

Next.js and React-Native now both use TypeScript by default on new apps.

Last chance to buy the Three.js Journey course with the promo code TWIR (-30%, expires tomorrow). It has just been upgraded with 24 hours of React-Three-Fiber modules. I take this opportunity to highlight Maxime Heckel's blog who took the course last year and is now able to do some pretty cool 3D! He has just published an impressive article on particles.
