We (@expo) are now maintaining React Native for Web. Thanks to @necolas for building it and looking after it all these years 🫡

So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?
Elon Musk has cemented his record as the largest individual political donor in modern American history.
Musk poured $446 million of his own money into this year’s midterm elections, mostly aimed at preserving the Republican Party’s control of Congress. wapo.st/4igb5Kq
Annnnnnnd…a new React Native PR. This is a proposal, I would love feedbacks!

A few RTL-related fixes already landed in 0.88: reactnative.dev/blog/2026/10…
My goal: to have something that work out-of-the-box, without extra fuzz.
Just use start / end values.
forceRTL is only for debug.
Set android:supportsRtl / RCTSupportsRTL to false if you want.

Content mappers in TS 7.1 are an absolute game changer
It’s plugins for TypeScript: a way to dynamically compute a static type signature for external file types (.vue, .md, etc) and integrate them directly into tsc compilation
TypeScript 7.1 Beta is now available! Now with a preview API, content mapper support, new features, and some great optimizations. Give it a try and give us some feedback! devblogs.microsoft.com/types…

Je ne pensais pas de mon vivant voir une dictature se dessiner en France et encore moins sous les hourras d’une foule manipulée à qui l’on fait croire que le danger c’est un parti qui veut davantage d’égalité. Et pourtant les digues sautent.
I will be there 👋
Our first official React Foundation Meetup is here!
📅 Nov 11 · 6–9:30 PM GMT
📍 Meta Kings Cross, London
Great people, good conversations, and a Community worth showing up for.
You’ll want to be there 👇

Safe area insets just landed in RN core! The `experimental_onSafeAreaInsetsChange` on <View /> allows receiving inset changes in a synchronous callback. This means state changes that happens in it will render on the UI thread. Compared with react-native-safe-area-context:
react-native-edge-to-edge is now deprecated 🫡
All supported React Native versions (0.86+) ship many edge-to-edge fixes. Set edgeToEdgeEnabled=true in android/gradle.properties instead.
Thanks to everyone who used it, and to @expo for the support!

Préfectures attaquées, commerces pillés, mairies saccagées ou brûlées, policiers blessés. Ce soir et demain, on va (à raison) beaucoup parler de casseurs. On parlera peut-être moins de ce qui nous a menés là : vingt ans d'impéritie au sommet de l'État.

Il faut absolument lire et partager cet article du @derspiegel
"La France a un gros problème de violence systémique. (...) Les notions de désescalade et de proportionnalité de la riposte ne font pas partie du vocabulaire de la police française" ⤵️
ALT Vu d’Allemagne. La France a un problème de violence, et il commence par sa police Alors que les manifestations de ce samedi 17 octobre vont être scrutées avec attention, la question des violences policières ressurgit. La brutalité avec laquelle les forces de l’ordre gèrent les conflits témoigne d’une vision archaïque de l’État, argue ce magazine allemand. Le citoyen est vu comme un potentiel ennemi, l’État comme le détenteur de la raison. Une conception responsable de bien des maux du pays.

React Native 0.88 is now available!
This release switches to a web-based event dispatching model, adds variable fonts support, SceneDelegate on iOS, and ArrayBuffer support for Android TurboModules. And it's another non-breaking major release.

1/3 🧵 react-native-nano-icons 1.0 is out 🔬💎 and it brings some massive DX sugar.
Font icon rendering is insanely fast ⚡️ and so is generating it from your SVGs. Drop a Figma export into the repo and see it on screen in under a second with the new Metro plugin. No native rebuild.
You can also forge the same SVGs into native symbols for Liquid Glass bottom tabs on iOS and Material ones on Android 🧭
Examples and all features: nano-icons.swmansion.com
Follow the thread below to learn more 👇
2/3 🧭 Native tab bars can't render a React component like <Icon>.
Nano Icons 1.0 forges native tab bar icons from the same SVGs: SF Symbol .symbolsets in the iOS asset catalog and VectorDrawables on Android. Liquid Glass and Material tabs from one SVG folder 💎
available with react-native-screens 4.29+ and @reactnavigation later today 🤓
