πŸš€ Galactic News: Cursor AI, Nitro Modules & Math


Hey Reader,

have you tried Cursor yet?

If not, my new video might convince you ✌️

Cursor is an amazing way to develop a lot faster and better applications, and I've already included it in my daily work.

Besides that, Marc Rousavy finally released Nitro Modules to the public so we have something new to talk about πŸ‘€

Oh, and I'm cooking up a special course for you behind the scenes too, so stay tuned for some cool new Galaxies content soon!

Happy Coding,
Simon✌️

πŸ’« Nebula Notes

  1. ​The beauty of mathematics in crafting stunning animations (Article)
    Whenever it comes to math in my apps I feel a bit lost, so this article was a nice refresher on some basic knwol
  2. ​Nitro Modules released (Repository)
    Marc finally released Nitro Modules, a new way of building React Native modules with more performant features!

At the same time, Expo Router v5 was released and I'm working on a video/course to keep you updated about what's possible with this latest version (hint: pretty much everything). Expect some issues with packages if you upgrade to SDK 53 right now, but you can always jump into our Discord channel and ask...

Hey Reader, Expo SDK 53 was released after a short beta, and although I wanted to cover it quickly my overview about the changes covers all the important new and exciting stuff in a bit longer formatπŸ”₯ From a totally new Expo UI package to Router updates, core changes and CLI improvements, this release gives React Native developers once again access to the latest & greatest tooling to build even better apps.
