The React Native Show Podcast Callstack

With so much going on in the community, it might be difficult to keep up with the new releases and announcements. Łukasz (https://twitter.com/loginlukasza) and Kuba (https://github.com/bionanek) come to the rescue with their roundup of React and React Native news.

They begin by discussing a bunch of recent news from Vercel:
➡️ A foundational release of Next.js 13.4 that comes with stable App Router, Turbopack in beta (which you can listen more about in our Coffee Talk episode with Zack Jackson 🎧 https://hubs.li/Q01PFKHd0), and Server Actions in alpha.
➡️ Three choices for databases in beta versions: Blob File Storage, Vercel KV with Redis under the hood, and Vercel Postgres.
➡️ CodeSpaces, enabling CMS edits directly from your UI and making managing your frontend projects easier at scale. It’s bound to foster collaboration and speed up development involving cross-functional teams. Learn more about this feature from Vercel themselves: https://youtu.be/0UJ3znqK82A
➡️ New security measures, including Vercel Secure Compute to Vercel Firewall.

Next, Łukasz and Kuba discuss the introduction of Canary release channel for React, which is to give the community the chance to incorporate specific new features into their systems before they are officially released in a stable version, as long as their design is nearly finalized.

The last piece of news in this episode is the release of React Native macOS: 0.71 in cooperation with Meta and Messenger Desktop engineers. Here’s our Coffee Talk episode with Lorenzo Sciandra about React Native at Microsoft 🎧 https://hubs.li/Q01PFLmL0

In April 2023, we had the pleasure of talking about performance optimization in the US. We went to San Francisco, Los Angeles and Detroit to meet some amazing folks from the React Native community – we loved the intense though exchange there!

During these meetings, we talked about our Ultimate Guide to React Native Optimization (https://hubs.li/Q01Pkt3j0), presented some news from React Native realm, and held Q&A sessions. We tried hard to answer all the questions, but there was only so much time, so some were left unanswered. Today we’ll be sharing these questions and answers with all of you, enjoy!

Here’s the podcast episode about Reassure ➡️ https://hubs.li/Q01Pkw0c0

Welcome to the latest episode of Callstack's Coffee Talks, where we bring you fresh updates and insights from the world of React Native.
This episode was recorded during Callstack’s internal learning and development day, which allowed Łukasz Chludziński (https://hubs.li/Q01MYW0r0) to talk to a bunch of exciting guests:

As the content of this episode revolves around Open Source, we begin by explaining how Callstack pays it forward to the community with involvement in OSS projects.

Then, we move on to the first topic: RFC for the proposal for natively supporting Expo Config Plugins by React Native core. This proposal has been released as part of our R&D program.

What is profiling? That is the first question Lukasz Chludzinski (https://twitter.com/loginlukasza) asks his guest – Jakub Binda, React Native Expert, and Eduardo Graciano (https://twitter.com/teddydroid07), software engineer at Callstack.

And it only gets better from there.

Since Jakub knows the ins and outs of profiling and Edu co-authored the section on profiling in our Ultimate Guide to React Native Optimization (which you can download here:https://www.callstack.com/campaigns/download-the-ultimate-guide-to-react-native-optimization?utm_campaign=Podcast&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_content=profiling_podcast), the conversation is full of best practices and useful tactics to make your app more performant.

What’s waiting for you inside?

- The definition and use cases of profiling
- Metrics you need to track when profiling your app
- Tools you’ll find useful, both for Android and iOS.

But our experts don’t end their conversation there. In the last part of the podcast, Edu, Łukasz, and Jakub discuss how to profile and app. Is there a best order of tasks for app profiling? Where should you start? Tune in to discover all you need to know about profiling.

The Coffee Talk episode is a treat. Łukasz Chludziński (https://twitter.com/loginlukasza) invited Michał Pierzchała, Head of Technology at Callstack (https://twitter.com/thymikee), and Jonny Burger, Creative Hacker at Remotion (https://twitter.com/JNYBGR) to talk about NPM Kiosk and open source monetization.

As both Michał and Jonny experimented with gated access to libraries. Michał’s last open-source project, Reassure (which he developed with Maciej Jastrzębski https://twitter.com/mdj_dev), had Beta access when it was released last June. The goal was to gather some feedback from early adopters. Michał and Maciej opted for a private registry to grant Beta access to their library.

Jonny, the creator of Remotion, wanted to experiment with selling specific components. As Jonny couldn’t find any tool that would solve all his problems and be easy for the buyer, he decided to hack his project – NPM Kiosk.

What are the drawbacks and benefits of each option? What would they’ve done differently? How do you handle payment options? Tune in to find answers to these and other questions!
