Hi everyone, Seb here! 👋

It's been another quiet week in the ecosystem, probably because everyone was afraid to announce anything during the massive Cloudflare outage! By the way, this one was not caused by useEffect 😆!

We have a good variety of interesting links, but I’m not sure what could be the headline. The most important news was probably the announcement of the upcoming CSS grid support in Yoga and React Native, but it’s still a draft PR for now. Also excited by the TC39 proposals progressing.

Make sure to take the State of React 2025 survey, which just opened today!

As always, thanks for supporting us on your favorite platform:

⚛️ React

• 💸 Product for Engineers - Non-obvious pricing advice for startups​

• 👀 Next.js MCP PR - New get_routes tool: Gives AI agents access to a list of route handlers, available in v16.0.3.
• 👀 Next.js PR - New next analyze CLI command: New built-in experimental bundle analyzer for Next.js and Turbopack. The “import stack” helps you figure out where a module is being used. Available in v16.0.2-canary.22, scheduled for v16.1.
• 👀 Next.js PR - New next upgrade CLI command: New easy-to-remember command, just a convenient alias to the codemods that already exist, available in v16.0.2-canary.24.

• 📜 Just JavaScript: A Remix maintainer gives their opinion on whether React Router, Remix 3, Svelte, and React are just JavaScript or not.

• 📜 Vitest Browser Mode vs Playwright: A great comparison of these tools, both of which can run React component tests with quite different tradeoffs. Vitest Browser Mode is the recommended approach.
