React Weekly #43 is out! This week spotlights major convergence across web and mobile runtimes: - React Native 0.88 web-aligned events - Expo SDK 58 deep dive & Apple Intelligence hooks - shadcn AI Elements for agent UIs - Base UI filterable menu a11y - Meta Quest multi-window spatial layouts

Rounding out architecture: Vercel detailed how partial prefetching in Next.js 16.4 slashed transition overhead across v0. And Base UI tackled the deceptively hard problem of pairing text inputs with menu popovers without breaking screen reader navigation.

React Weekly #42 explores real cross-platform architecture and hard-won performance wins. Here is what is inside this issue: - Structuring Next.js and Expo domain layers - Surviving a 5M-user cutover via EAS OTA updates - Deep visual debugging with Suspense DevTools - Wasm streaming optimizations

Speed without payload reduction: Sergey Patrakeev shaved 19% off initial load times for a 9 MB Wasm module just by reordering execution and switching to streaming compilation. No asset stripping required.

The Next.js 16.4 release focuses heavily on operational polish. Turbopack continues its diet with reduced output bundle footprints, alongside lazy compilation upgrades and tighter integration with React 19.3 and Cache Components.

React Weekly #40 is here with deep technical reads for frontend and mobile engineers. In this issue: - Native Android Activity Result constraints in React Native - End-to-end iOS Live Activities with Expo - Architecture notes on TanStack Charts - Coordinated Next.js security updates

Tanner Linsley reflects on the multi-year engineering effort behind TanStack Charts, open source sustainability, and pairing with AI tools. Plus: 5 practical native rich-text techniques using react-native-enriched-html without heavy webview overhead.

React Weekly #40 is here with deep technical reads for frontend and mobile engineers. In this issue: - Native Android Activity Result constraints in React Native - End-to-end iOS Live Activities with Expo - Architecture notes on TanStack Charts - Coordinated Next.js security updates

Android's Activity Result API requires early registration in the Activity lifecycle. Because React Native initializes modules lazily on demand, standard AndroidX contracts break. A deep dive explores why existing workarounds fall short and how an upstream bridge fix could resolve it.

Issue 39 is live. This week we track how agentic workflows are rewriting mobile QA, alongside Expo SDK 58 deep dives, ReactLynx rendering metrics, and an emergency Next.js security patch. Here is what engineering teams need to know. 🧵

Security alert: maintainers running Next.js must review the recent out-of-band security patch addressing a critical upstream vector immediately.
