Hi everyone!

This week, TypeScript 5.1 is released in beta with many improvements related to JSX and React!

React-Query plans to remove query callbacks in version 5, and this idea does not please everyone.

For React-Native developers, don't miss React-Native-Connection on June 1st in Paris! I participated to the talks selection committee, and we just published the complete line-up with international and local speakers. 10% discount with the code "REACTHEBDO".

Hi everyone!

We just passed a milestone: you are now over 20,000 subscribers! 🥳️

Thanks to all of you for giving me your attention every week and for helping me grow this project! If you want to give me a hand: word-of-mouth works well. I'm setting up a referral program that will soon allow me to know my best ambassadors, and to thank or reward them.

Having a critical mass of readers is important: it allows to find sponsors and compensate for the fact that I spend 50% of my time on it. After 3 years of effort, I've finally reached sustainability: it will give me the freedom to test new ideas without taking too many risks.

Otherwise, this week is marked by the release of Next.js 13.3 and Storybook 7.0. React Visualized is a very nice resource for beginners. I discovered Modern.js. Some good articles about React, Remix and Chakra UI. Calm on React-Native side.

For React-Native developers, don't miss the App.js conference in Krakow on May 10-12. It was a very good experience for me last year 👌. They offer us -20% on workshops.

Hi everyone!

I'm just back from vacations: we catch up with 2 weeks of news!

A new React Labs post now presents React Forget as a reactivity compiler.

Server Components never cease to surprise. Many related innovations are not yet highlighted outside a few tweets.

For React-Native developers, Chain React is a great conf in the USA (Portland, May 18-19). They offer us a 10% discount with code thisweekinreact.

Hi everyone!

The new React site is finally out, and it's safe to say that it kicks ass 🤗 I've put up quite a few related links, and will let you make up your own mind!

There are also some really cool articles. I like the interactive map of React APIs, Remix's approach to breaking changes for v2, or the use of React-Server-Components for translations.

On the React-Native side, the first RC of v0.72 is out. Some long-awaited new features of Metro 0.76 should be available soon, like symlinks support!

Hi everyone!

While everyone is playing with GPT-4, I'm still reading the React articles for you!

A new lazy feature in React-Router looks very useful to avoid waterfalls.

The Rspack bundler in Rust has just been announced.

I'd like to create a referral program for this newsletter. The idea is to encourage you to share it with your friends and reward you if new subscribers join us. Do you have any idea what I can offer?

I thought of:

• +1 subscriber - access to my top 10 React articles ever
• +3 subscribers - access to a well-presented DB of good articles, sorted with tags and rating
• +5 subscribers - a public thank you on Twitter or LinkedIn
• +10 subscribers - your job offer in the newsletter
• +30 subscribers - a course of your choice from Just JavaScript (Dan Abramov), Three.js Journey (Bruno Simon)...
• +50 subscribers - a one-hour React consulting session

It's not easy to choose what to offer 😅. It's easier to manage digital products to get started, but I'm not closed to some physical products (stickers, socks, sneakers, backpack, mug,...).

Can you reply to this email directly to give me your opinion, and tell me what would motivate you the most?

Hi everyone!

This week, there is still a lot of content about signals, but it's the turn of Server Components to take over the discussions!

One week left to send your talk proposal to the CFP of React-Native-Connection (Paris - June 1st).

Hi everyone!

This week, the debate around the signal model continues. We also have a nice release of Next.js, unveiling a new cache system to facilitate the performant usage of Server Components on a serverless Edge runtime.

A lot of activity also on the React-Native side, with Expo 48, Expo Router 1.0, Expo Image 1.0, Reanimated 3.0, and the arrival of symlinks support in Metro!

Hi everyone!

After a little break, we catch up with 2 weeks of news: a packed edition!

This Week In React just celebrated its 3rd birthday! I made a little thread to explain where I am, including links to my "build in public" pages. TLDR: the newsletter is finally viable, with more than 17500 subscribers, growing fast, and 27k€ turnover in 2022. Thanks you for supporting me over the years and making all this possible!

The Call for Paper for the React-Native-Connection conference (June 1st in Paris) is open. Don't hesitate to participate. Travel and 2 nights of hotel are taken care of for the speakers. I am part of the program committee.

I'm going to change the way I do the Twitter thread for various reasons. In particular, I find that the formality of the thread makes me less authentic and does not spark any interesting discussions. I also feel that the Twitter algorithm is becoming less and less fond of external links and is penalizing me. I will continue to be active on Twitter to share React news with you, but in another form.

Hi everyone!

Gatsby has just been acquired by Netlify 🤯!

There is also a very interesting RFC to read if you are passionate about cross-platform in React-Native.

Otherwise, it's a pretty quiet week. That's good timing, because I don't have much time 😄. I'm finishing up some preparations for next week's email which will be a bit different.

Hi everyone!

This year, I would like to make the newsletter a little more digestible. Do you have any suggestions for me? Do you think I put too many links and some can be deleted? Or do you like the exhaustive side? My goal is to make this newsletter less time consuming to write so that I can offer you more interesting content, like original articles. I'll explain it all to you soon.

If you are into Docusaurus, I was recently invited to the Semaphore podcast to talk about it.
