Recently cooking up updates in our RN app. Needed a reliable package to detect app version info. The only one available has been unmaintained since 2024, is buggy and full of issues, yet still widely used.

So I built a better, faster alternative myself:

RN Plain Text v0.6.0 released! 🎉🎉

I've designed our example app to beautifully showcase all supported features and allow for pixel level comparison using RN <Text> overlay (hint: it's ~98% the same)

It also includes built in benchmark suite...

[Maciej Jastrzębski @mdj_dev]

Fixed various edge-case bugs:
🐞 iOS view recycling, Android borders, etc

Added new features like:
💎 Font Variant styles
💎 Font Variation Settings (based on unmerged RN PRs 🙏)

Kudos to @alicantcode for the 1st community contribution 🙌

‼️ The popular npm package keyv is being actively compromised (127 million weekly downloads). The attacker is still pushing malware across packages right now.

Developing story.

@DazzlingDoggo @tmeire_ @NateBuilds1 @DanielLockyer Try out Genie react, gives the agent access to all the devtools and deep internals, you cna simply tell him to optimize performance and remove unneccasry rerenders and there you have it

[Ali @_y0u_0]

you can use genie-react to expose react internals to the agent so he can analyze performance and verify his work end to end

makes agents output much better on react

Most underrated skill in 2026 when it comes to LLMs & agents is being able to critique and shape the output.

لي فتره اجرب الاداة على اكثر من تطبيق، وصراحة النتائج اسطورية

انصح اي شخص يشتغل ب React يجربها حالاً، و بنفسه بيحس بفرق الاداء ☝️☝️

[Ali @_y0u_0]

بنيت اداة غيرت تجربتي مع الوكلاء!

لطالما تجربة تطوير الويب فيها صداع والاداة تخلي الـ Agents تشوف وش يصير داخل تطبيقك وكيف يحسن ويراقب الاداء ويتأكد ان كل شي يشتغل صح ويكتشف المشاكل بنفسه بدون اي تدخل منك.

الاداة حاليًا للتطبيقات اللي تعتمد على React/NextJS/tanstack

Expo SDK 57 will be the easiest upgrade you've ever made.

One command. No breaking changes. And boom, you're on React Native 0.86.

It's also the first step toward a new release cadence we're considering: optional, non-breaking upgrades between the big SDKs ↓

React Native apps can be faster than native 🔥.

I'm working on a React Native macOS code editor that opens, parses, and syntax highlights twice as fast as Zed, which is built in Rust.

"React Native is slow" is wrong.

Typical coding day with Claude (Opus 4.8)

- explain to Claude the task (5 minutes)
- Claude implements task (10 minutes)

me: "Why is this necessary?"
Claude: "You're right to push back! I over-engineered this!"
- Repeat x87 times (13 hours)
