πŸš€ Galactic News: React Strict DOM, Web3 & New Arch


Hey Reader,

breathing React Native air right now feels like a walk in nature:

You can create React Native apps with just HTML, Web3 is not yet dead and libraries are getting ready for the new architecture.

With this positive trend in the community, I hope you can smell the spirit and freshness of React Native.

And hopefully you enjoy the React Native spring as much as I do!

Happy Coding πŸš€
Simon
