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.

Hi everyone!

This week, we welcome 2 new contributors to help ensure the continuity of the newsletter throughout the year, even when Seb takes a break.

Cyril and Matthieu from Theodo Apps (formerly BAM) here 👋, filling in to bring you the latest news from the React and React Native worlds.

It’s a relatively calm week for React, with some ongoing discussions about the Suspense drama in React 19.

But React Native? That’s where the real action is!
From Expo demoing a way to integrate React DOM components to the exciting launch of React Native WebGPU, there’s plenty to talk about. Plus, we’re diving into new approaches to native module development that are sure to shake things up. And React Native 0.75 is around the corner, we'll cover it next week!

Hi everyone!

I don't know about you, but it's hot here! 🌞
Only in °C/°F, because this week has been quite cold in terms of news. 🥶
Many great articles, but no major React release or announcement.

TypeScript saved the week, with the first v5.6 beta, and first-class support coming in Node.js!

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!

Hi everyone!

This week it looks like we are finally entering the summer/holiday season and the pace of major React announcements is slowing down. We will also be taking a short summer break, skip 2 issues, and be back on July 17.

On the React side, we continue to have interesting content related to the Suspense drama from last week. A new React Router feature permits you to code split your route tree.

On the React Native side, it looks like the team is trying to release v0.75 as RC, and encountering some roadblocks, but it’ll probably be out soon.

The most exciting news to me is the TypeScript 5.5 stable release: it’s a great one, notably for predicate type inference! The State of JS survey results are also out if you want to explore JS trends.

Hi everyone!

I (Seb) am back, and happy to share that the newsletter crossed 40 000 subscribers! 🎉

Thanks for your support and for sharing the newsletter with your friends.
Any idea to make it even better, share feedback, or submit a link? Just reply to this email!

This week the React 19 stable release that we expected very soon is delayed a bit due to a controversial change in how Suspense behaves.

On the React Native side, the first RC of 0.75 is expected very soon, running under React 19.

Hi everyone!

It's Benedikt again this week, as Sebastien is taking a break.

For me, the week's most interesting topics are not big announcements or new releases but rather subtle hints at future work (type-safe routes models coming to Remix, React Compiler coming to Expo, native intents in Expo Router), as well as some online discussions about React Suspense implementation details (display: none, and, more importantly, a pretty significant change in parallel fetching behavior with React 19).
