This week’s *Live Dev Session* was packed with one thing: substance. From the rise of Node-API in React Native to game-changing libraries like `react-native-worklets`, Łukasz and Kewin tackled it all live with a dose of healthy skepticism.
The highlight? Łukasz gave a developer-friendly breakdown of Node-API support in React Native: what it is, why it matters, and what you can actually do with it today. If you’re up for a full 3-hour deep dive, watch it here: youtube.com/live/uN6rCaJMPzI?feature=shared
Other dev-eye-openers from Week 29:
- `react-native-wallet`: Now you can add payment cards to Apple & Google Wallets from RN apps. Expensify & Software Mansion nailed it.
- `react-native-worklets`: A new library extracted from Reanimated. What does it do? Can it co-exist with Margelo’s version? The devs discuss.
- ChromeOS + Android convergence: What’s Google planning? Kewin and Łukasz speculate on dev implications.
- On-device Apple LLMs in React Native: Native LLM, offline. React Native just got smarter.
- TinyBase: A slick, reactive, local-first data store with new RN support via `persister-react-native-sqlite`.
- React Native Enterprise Framework 0.8: The new release comes with a new CLI visual style, RN 0.80 support, and works with RNC CLI 19.1.
- Metro + Module Federation: A Callstack-led effort to bring modularity to the Metro bundler. Re.Pack, but native.
