Reanimated 4.5 brings pseudo-selectors to React Native! 🐎

You can now use :hover, :active, and :focus in your CSS animations the same way you would in a browser, with native backends on iOS and Android.

Check out the demo below and more features in this release ⬇️

React Native Gesture Handler just hit 5M weekly downloads – that’s absolutely crazy! 🤯 Thanks so much for choosing it for your projects! 🙌 And if you haven’t already, be sure to drop us a ⭐️ on GitHub! https://t.co/bbKudUIEJg

Congratulations on the PoC release, I love the concept, and it's amazing that AI can help ship such complex features nowadays.

That said, I can't stand that a significant portion of the documentation and the READMEs is written entirely by AI.

It's full of falsehoods, needless verbosity, and otherwise misleading statements.

In my opinion, user-facing documentation should be written carefully — almost hand-crafted — and the use of AI in it kept to an absolute minimum.

I'd rather read docs that are concise but unfinished than go through pages of zero-effort bloat. Less really is more here; react-native-worklets documentation has zero AI-written pages.

To start with, please fix your comparison to react-native-worklets. I genuinely appreciate that you wanted to compare them, but your agent did a poor job of it.

Are you still using the Gesture Handler v1 api (i.e., <𝙿𝚊𝚗𝙶𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚎𝙷𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚕𝚎𝚛 /> instead of <𝙶𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚎𝙳𝚎𝚝𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛 />)? If so, why?

I'd appreciate reposts for visibility.

[Software Mansion @swmansion]

🚀 @Meta just announced that React Native 0.82 introduces experimental support for Hermes V1. It’s also the first version running entirely on the New Architecture! ⚛️

The Legacy Architecture is no longer used and will be removed in future releases. That means it’s high time to migrate if you haven’t already! ⚡

Join us for a live stream with @piaskowyk & @kacperkapusciak – we’ll cover everything you need to know about Hermes V1, the New Architecture & what it means for devs!

📅 When? Oct 10, 5 p.m.
📍 Where? YouTube & X

[T.J. Żelawski @tjzeldev]

I'm excited to announce I will be speaker at React Universe, just next week! 🥳

It's high time we talk Worklets on a big stage.

[Michał Bert @Michal3870]

Penny for your thoughts

Is anyone having a hard time with haptics in React Native?

[Software Mansion @swmansion]

WebGPU is great for making graphics and AI libraries blazingly fast, but connecting different libraries together is either not feasible, or totally tanks performance. 🤯

Fortunately, we have a solution. 😎
