🚀 Galactic News: React Native IDE, Reanimated & Bridgeless Mode

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

I finally had the chance to test the React Native IDE Beta and share my first impression in the new video.

Beyond that I'm putting together the last pieces for our new Project Launchpad, so expect some news around it later this week 🚀

Keep on building awesome stuff.

💫 Nebula Notes

  1. ​From Next.js to React Native with Kitze (Podcast)
    I sat down with Kitze, creator of Sizzy, Benji and many other successful indie projects to talk about his journey with React Native.
  2. ​React Native Bridgeless Mode for Dummies (Video)
    Since I haven't created a video about the new arch yet, check out this great explanation about the bridgeless mode by Oscar!
  3. ​Reanimated 3.9.0 released​ (Release)
    Maybe just another release, but there is now support for screen transition animation and it's gonna be really epic.
  4. ​React Native with pre-compilation? (Tweet)
    Every week a new idea from Evan, this time it's about increased build times with pre-compiled code - so exciting to see his mind work.
