• TanStack Ecosystem with Tanner Linsley: React Query to TanStack Start | React Universe On Air #50

  Tanner Linsley joins React Universe On Air to unpack the evolution of the TanStack ecosystem—from React Table and React Query to TanStack Router and the newest addition to the family, TanStack Start ✨ What started as internal tooling for Nozzle became a suite of libraries that shaped how developers think about server state, routing, and full-stack React apps. In this episode, Tanner shares the technical decisions behind building framework-agnostic, headless tools—and explains why client-side architecture still matters in a server-first world. You’ll also hear why TanStack Start isn’t just another full-stack framework, how React Server Components could be treated like server state, and what’s coming next for TanStack Router. If you're building React apps at scale or deciding how to modernize your frontend stack, don’t skip this one!

• Multiple TV Platforms, One Codebase: React Native TV App Development | React Universe On Air #49

  Eighteen TV platforms, one codebase—what could possibly go wrong? Tune in to find out how to tackle the technical and UX challenges of building for Android TV, Apple TV, Fire TV, Tizen, and more—all with React Native! In the 49th episode of React Universe On Air, Łukasz Chludziński (https://x.com/lukasz_app) teams up with Michael Khirallah (https://x.com/mkralla11), Senior Director of Engineering at DIRECTV, and Chris Trag (https://x.com/chris_trag), Developer Evangelist at Amazon, to discuss why cross-platform development is not just a time-saver but also a way to deliver a consistent user experience. You know that at Callstack, we’re all about performance—and with devices like Samsung’s Tizen TVs released in 2017 (running Chromium 47!), performance is a serious concern. That’s why we asked our guests to share real-world techniques for optimizing TV apps, from architectural choices to strategies that avoid unnecessary performance hits on newer devices. The complexity of TV app development doesn’t stop at coding, though. Our host and guests know it all to well, so they couldn’t help but discuss how they balance unit, integration, automation, and manual testing, leveraging tools like AWS Device Farm and custom-built frameworks to ensure stability across all supported platforms. What’s in it for you? Tips on automating QA without compromising thoroughness and why manual testing remains crucial for end-user experience. Want to get started with React Native TV app development?

• Reanimated 4 is the Future of Smooth React Native Animations | React Universe On Air #48

  Reanimated 4 is here to change the way we build animations in React Native. With CSS-style animations and transitions, animations are now easier to write, more predictable, and work more like they do on the web. In this episode, Ola Desmurs-Linczewska (https://x.com/p_syche_) sits down with Tomasz Zawadzki (https://x.com/tomekzaw_) and Mateusz Łopaciński (https://x.com/MatiPl01) from Software Mansion to discuss what’s new in Reanimated 4, why React Native is moving toward web standards, and what these changes mean for developers. We talk about: 💜 Why Reanimated 4?—the motivation behind CSS-based animations and what problems they solve. 💜 How CSS animations & transitions work in React Native—use the syntax you already know! 💜 New Architecture-only support—why the old architecture is gone and what it means for migration. 💜 Aligning React Native with web standards—how Meta and the community are making React Native more like the web. 💜 Modularity and the future of Reanimated—splitting the library into smaller packages for better maintainability. 💜 Migration tips and developer experiments—how to upgrade, test new features, and start using CSS animations today. Reanimated 4 is in beta now, so experiment with it and share your impressions in the comments!

• Mobile Microfrontends With Zephyr Cloud and Re.Pack | React Universe On Air #47

  Picture this: your teams are innovating independently, deploying updates swiftly, and navigating complex app architectures with ease. Microfrontends make this possible, much like microservices revolutionized backend development. But what about mobile? How can this approach transform your app development strategy? To explore these questions, we’re joined by Zack Chapple (https://x.com/Zackary_Chapple ), Co-founder and CEO of Zephyr Cloud, and Jakub Romańczyk (https://x.com/_jbroma ), maintainer of Re.Pack at Callstack. They dive into the evolution of microfrontends, starting with the fundamentals: what they are, why they matter, and how technologies like Module Federation enable them. Zack shares insights on tools like Webpack, Rspack, and Zephyr Cloud, showing how they streamline managing complex frontends. The episode then shifts focus to mobile, where Zack and Jakub break down the Zephyr Cloud and Re.Pack collaboration. Learn how to tackle platform-specific challenges like managing version compatibility, over-the-air updates, and reducing bundle sizes—all while staying app store compliant. Plus, hear about real-world scenarios, like dynamically loading features or ejecting unused code to optimize performance, and get a sneak peek at Re.Pack 5.
