You need to build a CRM? Get started with Atomic CRM, a popular open-source CRM written in React. Itβs built with a stack your team already knows: Tailwind CSS, TanStack Query, react-hook-form and Supabase. Simply fork it, customize it to your business, and self-host it on your own infrastructure.
And when the customizations start piling up, delegate them: Atomic CRM ships with a harness of 7 agentic subagents for automated workflow execution.
The new minor version of React is finally out, and itβs a great one!
If you read us regularly, we already disclosed everything π, but hereβs a reminder of the highlights:
View Transitions: now stable! Also including the addTransitionType API that lets you customize the animation directly from the code triggering it.
Fragment Refs: now stable! This lets you get a ref of a and manipulate its underlying children DOM nodes. A quite useful feature unlocking new composition patterns that were previously difficult or requiring a wrapper DOM node.
use(browser()): a first-class API to opt out a subtree of server-side rendering, replacing patterns based on typeof window and useEffect.
Trusted Types: a security feature to use in conjunction with Content-Security-Policy to prevent XSS attacks.
RSC can render : no need to create a wrapper component anymore.
Make sure to read that blog post because it contains interactive examples worth taking a look at, in particular to understand View Transitions and Fragment Refs.
π React DevTools CDT MCP - Speaking of DevTools, the React team is also experimenting with a new package, recently published to npm. Itβs not an MCP server, but lets Chrome DevTools discover/register/expose React tools useful for agents to understand and profile your app at runtime.
π React Now Rusted All The Way Out - An overview of the React Compiler in Rust landing in Vite, reporting a 17x speedup over the Babel version, and giving an alternative solution for React Router framework mode users.
π Replacing Next.js with a vibe-coded "framework" - Replacing Next.js on a personal site with a 5k-line framework Claude architected. Still React/MDX on the server, Preact islands on the client, with 99% less JS shipped. This shows meta-frameworks could eventually die out: their knowledge can be distilled into skills instead, and custom frameworks can be created on demand.
π Next.js - How Turbopack chunks your JavaScript - Explains the trade-offs behind code splitting strategies and the heuristics used to minimize both download size and request count. Next.js 16.3 comes with experimental options to optimize chunking and fine-tune heuristics based on your site access patterns.
π¦ React Google Maps 1.10 - New new 3d components - The library completed its existing Google Maps 3D support with declarative components for GLB models, HTML markers, polylines, polygons, terrain flattening, and circular paths. A demo is worth a thousand words, so check this 3D Maps Markers demo to see fancy 3D markers, including an animated Model3D Balloon.
π¦ uf - Unified Toolchain for Flow and React - A Rust-based toolchain comparable to Vite+, improving DX for React and Flow. The authorβs arguments are worth reading: Flow is a more precise type system than TypeScript for describing React code.
βSurveyJS is a set of UI libraries for building, rendering, and analyzing forms and surveys directly inside your React application. Create everything from simple registration forms to complex surveys and multi-step wizards, connect your forms to any backend, and match them to your existing design system with custom themes or style adapters for Bootstrap, shadcn/ui, and Material UI.
β’ Embed a drag-and-drop form builder for business users β’ Update forms without shipping a new release β’ Reuse one JSON schema across the builder, renderer, PDF exports, and analytics
Developers control the architecture. Business teams manage forms. Your company retains full control over the UI and user data. π
π React Native Navigation Benchmarks - Benchmarks the same app rebuilt 4x with different routers, covering cold start, RAM, FPS, and JS measurements. Android tests highlight the most common RN bottleneck.
π An early look at Expo Modules 2.0 - Modules become plain annotated Swift/Kotlin with no definition() DSL to learn. Sync calls run 2.5-5.6x faster than 1.0 on the same SDK and beat TurboModules in the Expo chart. Experimental, iOS-only. Android in progress.
π¦ RN QuickJS alpha - Hermes-compatible JSI runtime - An alternative to Hermes. A tiny (~1.5MB) JavaScript engine that compiles to small bytecode bundles for faster startup, with a compatibility layer so most Hermes-dependent libs like Reanimated keep working without changes.

π Read Online Hi everyone, Kasia and Kuba from Software Mansion here. This week, Next.js 16.3 officially shipped, bringing Instant Navigations to the App Router and cutting dev server RAM usage by up to 90%. On the React Native side, a new, faster PlainText component and a deep dive into Vision Camera v5. Across the broader dev ecosystem, GitHub stacked PRs finally entered public preview with native base retargeting and a gh-stack CLI. Let's dive in! ποΈFYI: weβre taking a break next week; see...
