React Native Signals, Game Revenue & AI That Finally Works

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader 🎉

This week’s podcast is a bit of a mixed bag - in the best way.

We start with some ecosystem signals from the JavaScript Rising Stars, then zoom out into what I’ve been building lately, including a few thoughts on my indie game revenue and why AI has finally clicked for me in my daily workflow.

If you’re into React Native, games, or tooling in general - I think you’ll enjoy this one.

💫 Nebula Notes

  1. ​2025 Rising Stars of Javascript (Survey)
    Great article that sums up how stable and smooth React Native feels right now - we’re in the polish era, and I love it.
  2. ​State of React Native (Survey)
    Until the end of the week you can still participate in the annual State of RN survey - do your duty!
  3. ​Happy Vibe Coding from Mobile (Tool)
    Discovered this tool just yesterday and it's a super simple yet convenient way to use your Claude Code session from mobile.

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.
