💫 Nebula Notes

TanStack working on React Native Framework (Tweet)
Tanner Linsley hinted multiple times that something React Native related is coming from TanStack.If true, this could seriously shake up the framework landscape.

WebAssembly Coming to Hermes (Article)
This is big. WASM support inside Hermes opens doors for performance-heavy logic, shared engines, and potentially new categories of tooling.
