1/ The @remix_run React meta-framework team announced a $3M VC funding
Will finally be free & open-sourced as MIT!
- v1 incoming

- No serverless cloud lock-in

2/ @kentcdodds wrote about all the technical details behind his new website, which is likely the largest @remix_run deployment
Very long, hard to TLDR.
It's worth taking a look at to see what a modern tech stack looks like.

3/ @TeamSapling rethinks how we navigate across IDE files
🛑 FS tree navigation
✅ Statically analyze your React app and create a React navigation tree
(looks a bit like DevTools)
Works for VSCode + React
Later: support other IDEs and frameworks

4/ @sebmarkbage created several React-18 Library Upgrade Guide entries
<head> is at the beginning of HTML: it complicates things for SSR streaming API integration
Lib/fwk authors need upgrade for use-cases: <head>, css-in-js, <link stylesheet>...

5/ React & TypeScript: use generics to improve your types by @PierreOuannes
Good intro to generics
Analysis of the useState TS signature
Ends with a generic <Select> comp working with string or number

8/ @notbrent introduced the new @expo SDK 43
In beta ~1 week
Experimental: Hermes on iOS! (including Expo OTA updates)
React 17
React-Native to 0.64 (with Hermes supporting proxies 😜)
🤔 Almost wonder what stops Hermes from becoming the default now
