Hey Reader,

Ever wondered which React Native apps you're using without even knowing it? 👀

I just dropped a new video showcasing 4 mind-blowing apps built with React Native that you probably interact with daily. Trust me, some of these might surprise you!

This week has been packed with incredible content for the React Native community. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jack Herrington for the Rocket Ship Podcast, where we dove deep into Module Federation and the latest developments in React Server Components. If you're curious about the future of universal apps, you won't want to miss this conversation.

Two more interesting updates from the ecosystem:

• The React Native Core Contributor Summit just wrapped up, giving us a fascinating peek into what's cooking for the future of RN
• Evan Bacon published an eye-opening comparison of cross-platform frameworks used by top apps in 2025 (spoiler: React Native's numbers might make you smile!)

I'm constantly amazed by how our ecosystem keeps evolving. What's your take on these developments? Drop me a message - I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Keep shipping awesome apps,
Simon ✌️
