Hey Reader, This week, I didn’t publish a new video - but that doesn’t mean things were quiet. Between working on the Amazon clone (coming next week 👀), creating new Essentials videos, and juggling some real-life stuff (like diet without real sports?), I’ve been soaking in what the React Native community has been up to… and wow. One moment you think nothing happens, then William Candillon describes what's going on with WebGPU and the new Skia Graphite, and a PR for background-repeat (and styles) for React Native comes in. Honestly, it’s one of those weeks where I feel super lucky to be part of this dev community - people keep pushing boundaries in wild and creative ways. Like always, I gathered my favorite updates for you below. Whether you’re in building mode, idea mode, or “I just want to feel inspired” mode - I think you’ll enjoy these. Watch out for the Amazon clone app next week 💙 Until then - keep building, keep shipping. ✨ Expo AI App Template, Icon Creator, Background Tasks, RSC & Triathlon SuccessIn this week’s episode, we explore a handful of exciting tools and tutorials for React Native developers - plus a personal milestone! 👉 Watch the Podcast 💫 Nebula Notes

Hey Reader, Are React Server Components still a mystery to you? That ends today - I’ll show you how to build and deploy your first RSC in a React Native app. Why does this matter? RSCs let you handle sensitive operations securely, simplify data fetching, and make your app feel faster - all while writing less code. And yes, they work with React Native now! 🎧 In this week’s podcast, I also broke down what’s new in React Native 0.80 - from frozen legacy architecture to a more stable future. And...
Hey Reader, Apple just dropped a new UI paradigm called Liquid Glass — and React Native is already ready. Because React Native uses real native views, we can take advantage of new system features like this right away. Meanwhile, frameworks like Flutter (which re-render their own UIs) will likely struggle to keep up. This is exactly why I believe so strongly in React Native — and why I built Galaxies.dev to help web and app developers like you go from Zero to Hero with native mobile apps. 🌌...
Hey Reader, Can all apps be built with React Native? Five years ago, you might have laughed at this question. Today? It's not just possible - it's happening What's New in React Native Land The recent AppJS conference proved once again that React Native has one of the strongest ecosystems out there. I've distilled the entire 2-day event into a short recap video just for you. Main topic? The legacy Architecture codebase will be frozen 😱 But that's not all. We're on the verge of exciting...
