Published about 1 year agoΒ β€’Β 1 min read

Hey Reader,

this week Expo SDK 51 was released with a bunch of small improvements that I shared in the new video.

Overall no dramatic changes, but some cool new packages that you will see in action πŸ”œ

Beyond that I'm excited to see talks at this weeks React Conf and being personally in Poland at AppJS next week!

πŸ’« Nebula Notes

  1. ​Expo SDK 51 (Changelog)
    To stay current with the latest changes, I highly recommend to quickly read through all the SDK 51 changes!
  2. ​NativeWind UI (Componets)
    You can finally use some of the free NativeWind UI components, which is basically the TailwindUI for React Native!
  3. ​React Native Camera Vision x Skia​ (Tutorial)
    What happens when you add Skia to RN Vision Camera? See what you can do with v4 of RNVC in this tutorial.
  4. ​6x faster React Native Builds (Tweet)
    It's my personal goal to share one idea from Evan every week - this time it's a practical improvement you can actually try today!

And while I still think we are in some sort of React version hell, I'm optimistic that things will get smoother later this year. Also watch...
