@ricky.fm is back!

... i have joined the @nextjs.org team at @vercel.com. for a start, i'll be working part-time, so please don’t flood me with bug reports yet. however, i’ll try to keep an eye on them as i want to understand what problems Next.js users are running into every day. i want App Router to get good!

It's sooooo nice when people don't just post feedback but actually submit PRs. Max is great, be like Max.

The awesome newly updated `use()` docs show more ways to make `use()` a truly useful API, for data loading on the client and the server. Thank you to @ricky.fm and @aurorascharff.no for writing, and @brenelz.com, @stephanjnoel.bsky.social , and @yadiel.dev for reviewing! react.dev/reference/re...

🚨🚨🚨 React Compiler Rust Port is merged!!! Thank you to Mofei, Mike, @ricky.fm, @en-js.bsky.social, and @no.lol for their work on the port! github.com/react/react/...

Very exciting Rust React Compiler news! @ricky.fm reports that the Rust port will be merged in the next week or two! Internal meta testing is showing 99.9% compatibility and much faster performance! github.com/facebook/rea...

We’re pretty close to having an initial Rust port of React Compiler. My approach was to iterate on the plan document (write it manually, have the agent expand, edit, repeat). Then try to run it, see what goes wrong, revert back to the plan, tweak the plan, repeat.

useActionState is a new hook for forms, async reducers, and more. It now has great new documentation: react.dev/reference/re... Thank you to @ricky.fm for writing. Thank you to @aurorascharff.no, @danabra.mov, @samselikoff.com, @stephanjnoel.bsky.social, @brenelz.com, and @yadiel.dev for reviewing.

Does this diagram help? It uses the React Performance Tracks to explain what React is doing, and what you'll see when you use the tracks: github.com/reactjs/reac...

useEffectEvent makes handling events in Effects much easier and saves unnecessary unmounting and remounting of listeners. It now has awesome new docs: react.dev/reference/re... Thank you to @ricky.fm the updates, and @danabra.mov and @stephanjnoel.bsky.social for reviewing

Rewrote the useActionState docs, does this make sense? github.com/reactjs/reac...

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

@ricky.fm Thank you for updating react.dev/reference/re... page. Also thanks to @danabra.mov, @aurorascharff.no @stephanjnoel.bsky.social, @brenelz.com for adding feedback

I rewrote the useEffectEvent docs, feedback welcome: github.com/reactjs/reac...

thanks @danabra.mov! github.com/reactjs/reac...

The future came, and it's not annoying

www.columkelly.com/blog/use-opt... Updated the todo examples and some of the writing after getting feedback from @ricky.fm To be fair, Ricky's version of the final example is very clean, (although it took me a while to grasp). useOptimistic might save you after all.

Please update (again) immediately.

Researchers have found two new vulnerabilities in React Server Components while attempting to exploit the patches last week. These are new issues, separate from the critical CVE last week. The patch for React2Shell remains effective for the Remote Code Execution exploit.

I’ve programmed since I was 11 and got a minor in CS, but I wanted to be a math teacher. I was offered a 35k math teacher position replacing a retiring teacher making 70k, and was told “this is how it works you have to take it”. I said no, two weeks later I started at a software engineer for 70k.

Going back through @ricky.fm's Async React as I prep an internal talk, and this part is insanely good, felt like it deserved a reshare🔥 youtu.be/p9OcztRyDl0?...

⚠️ In 90 Minutes Learn how Suspense, transitions, and optimistic updates work in React with core team member @ricky.fm. Details:

People give `useEffect` a bad rap, but it isn't usually the source of the problem. The real problem is too many `useState`s. Devs fail to see how their data is connected and model it too discretely. As those connections appear, it is easier to synchronize than refactor the model. 1/
