Triplex: A Newly Open Sourced Workspace for Building React and React Three Fiber Components — Originally a commercial tool for visually laying out components in 3D scenes rendered with React Three Fiber, Triplex has gone open source and joined the Poimandres Collective (responsible for projects like Three Fiber, Jotai, and Zustand). Its scope has also increased with a VS Code extension and support for regular React DOM elements and components.

React Compiler v1.0 — The React Compiler is now finally considered stable and ready to take on some of your app’s optimization tasks by way of auto-memoization applied based on the compiler’s analysis of your code. You can still use useMemo and useCallback as appropriate for precise control, however.

Bun 1.3: The Alternative Full-Stack JS Runtime — The performance-focused JavaScriptCore-powered runtime gets a big upgrade making it more of a ‘full-stack runtime’ including a dev server with hot reloading (including React Fast Refresh), the ability to scaffold React projects out of the box, and isolated package installs by default. There’s a lot to like in here for React use cases.
