1/ @dan_abramov shared a long React 18 update, mostly for course creators: https://t.co/cgnkOdqzOk Some APIs are stable. There's still a good amount of work left We shouldn't extrapolate the Big Picture vision too much for now React 18 is not only for FB scale apps https://t.co/JpTbynjZyT

2/ @gatsbyjs 4 introduced by @schaudustin https://t.co/VQh6V9CPeq - SSR - deferred static generation - parallel query running New exciting features, and should close the gap with Next.js in terms of feature parity. I bet @netlify will support Gatsby SSR/DSG soon 🀣

3/ @PierreOuannes shared how to use React Context like a Pro https://t.co/H0G9okxsnr Multiple tips I agree with, some not widely known: - encapsulate your context behind custom provider/hooks - memoize value - split in 2 contexts (state + update API) https://t.co/i4KsAJogQ3

11/ Running React Native everywhere by @mazzarolomatteo https://t.co/7biSVkJUKD Matteo published a boilerplate + tooling for developing cross-platform apps. Explains how it works in a series. πŸ€” strong opinion: use different RN versions per platform (macos is still 0.63) https://t.co/jS9WmTObl7
