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, I'm excited to introduce 2 new contributors to help me with the newsletter!

Tomasz and Kacper from Software Mansion here – you may already know us from libraries like Reanimated or Gesture Handler. We're happy to be among the authors of the This Week in React newsletter!

We were about to call it a fairly calm week… until React Conf 2025 was officially announced and React Native 0.79 dropped with Swift-compatible native modules for iOS, faster app startup on Android, and many more. Let's dive in!

Hey everyone!

Cyril and Matthieu here from Theodo Apps 👋 with your weekly dose of React and React Native updates, while Seb is busy enjoying the React Native Connection conf!

React 19.1 just dropped with better error handling and deeper integration for Server Components in Parcel. Meanwhile, Tailwind CSS 4.1 is right around the corner, and the community is buzzing with hot takes on CSS-in-JS. On the React Native side, the golden RC for 0.79 is out, and ExecuTorch v0.4.0 is landing soon with exciting AI features.

Let’s get into it! 🚀

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!

Cyril and Matthieu from Theodo Apps here 👋, with some big updates in React and React Native!

React Server Components are now supported in Parcel, making it a more viable bundler for modern apps. Callstack is working on a new React Native framework aimed at enterprise teams, promising better build caching. React Native Worklets is bringing real multithreading to React Native, finally decoupling it from animations. And React 19 migrations are picking up speed, with teams sharing insights on adapting to the changes.

Exciting times ahead—let’s dive in! 🚀
