Hey Reader,

what a week for React Native 😱

The React Conf delivered epic news, and I dropped a new video where we build a full Pocket-style save-for-later app using React Native - and it’s packed with modern tools:

📱 Built with:

• Expo + SQLite for local data
• Reanimated for smooth animations
• API Routes + RevenueCat for paid features

👉 Watch the video here​

And from the React world this week:

• 🏛️ The React Foundation - a new governance model for React & React Native, aiming to make the future more stable and community-driven.
  🚀 React Native 0.82 is out - New Architecture only, Hermes v1, and DOM Node APIs mark a big shift.
  🧰 New DevTools for RN 0.83 - performance panels and a dedicated desktop app are coming soon!
  🏆 Expo App Awards are open - if you’ve built something cool, now’s your chance to show it off.

Links below — and as always, keep building & keep shipping.
