React Native 0.84 Is Here - And TanStack Might Be Next

Published 4 days ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader 🎉

This week feels like one of those “shift is happening” moments in the React Native ecosystem.

Hermes is evolving fast.
WebAssembly is coming.
And Tanner Linsley is teasing a new React Native framework

Let’s unpack it in this week’s podcast,👇

  • React Native 0.84 (Hermes V1 by default)
  • WebAssembly support in Hermes
  • The possibility of a new TanStack React Native framework
  • Updates & Numbers from my game Tiny Harvest 🌱

✨ React Native 0.84, Hermes V1 & A TanStack React Native Framework?!

React Native 0.84 is here (with Hermes V1 by default), WebAssembly is landing inside Hermes, Expo is experimenting with AI “Agent Skills,” and there might be a new React Native framework coming from TanStack 👀

💫 Nebula Notes

  1. ​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.
  2. ​Cross-Platform Native Paste Handling (Package)
    expo-paste-input brings proper native paste handling to React Native + Expo.     Small API, very practical, very useful.
  3. ​State of React 2025 Results (Survey)
    If you love graphs, check out the results from the React Survey (Spoiler: React is doing great)
  4. ​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.

Hey Reader 🎉 This week is a bit special. I published two videos that are closely connected - one practical, one philosophical. The first is a full crash course on how I’d approach learning React Native today, in 2026 - especially in an AI-first world. The second is more opinionated: why traditional coding courses alone aren’t enough anymore… and what actually is. If you’re building, learning, or rethinking your path this year, these two belong together. Would love to hear your thoughts on...
