πŸš€ Galactic News: React Server Components in React Native, AI Template & React Native 0.80


Hey Reader,

Are React Server Components still a mystery to you?

That ends today - I’ll show you how to build and deploy your first RSC in a React Native app.

Why does this matter?

RSCs let you handle sensitive operations securely, simplify data fetching, and make your app feel faster - all while writing less code. And yes, they work with React Native now!

🎧 In this week’s podcast, I also broke down what’s new in React Native 0.80 - from frozen legacy architecture to a more stable future.

And shoutout to Evan and Beto from Expo, who just shipped some awesome tools and templates to make your dev life even easier.

Until then - keep building, keep shipping.
Simon ✌️

πŸ’« Nebula Notes

  1. ​Expo support for React Native 0.80 (Article)
    You can actually already use React Native 0.80 with Expo, but you have to use a canary build - be aware of breaking changes.
  2. ​AI-powered icon generation CLI (Tool)
    Beto released a new CLI tool for generating your app icons with AI. I love it when AI makes my life easier in a useful way!
  3. ​Expo AI template with Tailwind (Template)
    About to start your next AI powered app? Get started with the new with-router-ai template that Evan just dropped and ship faster.
  4. ​Bringing Liquid Glass to React Native (Tweet)
    React Native is in the best position to quickly use Apples new UI, and with this (upcoming) package it'll be even easier.

Hey Reader, Apple just dropped a new UI paradigm called Liquid Glass β€” and React Native is already ready. Because React Native uses real native views, we can take advantage of new system features like this right away. Meanwhile, frameworks like Flutter (which re-render their own UIs) will likely struggle to keep up. This is exactly why I believe so strongly in React Native β€” and why I built Galaxies.dev to help web and app developers like you go from Zero to Hero with native mobile apps. 🌌...

Hey Reader, Can all apps be built with React Native? Five years ago, you might have laughed at this question. Today? It's not just possible - it's happening What's New in React Native Land The recent AppJS conference proved once again that React Native has one of the strongest ecosystems out there. I've distilled the entire 2-day event into a short recap video just for you. Main topic? The legacy Architecture codebase will be frozen 😱 But that's not all. We're on the verge of exciting...

Hey Reader, I'm continuing my quest to cover some React Native Essentials with the new video about Tabs with Expo Router this week.
