✅ 👩‍💻 React Router v7 Released

Michael explains it best: “v7 brings everything you love about Remix back into React Router proper. We encourage all Remix v2 users to upgrade [...] For the majority of the React ecosystem [...] we believe React Router v7 will be the smoothest way to bridge the gap between React 18 and 19.” The project has a nifty new homepage too.

✅ Next.js 15.1: Now Officially Supporting React 19

As (almost) the de facto React framework, it’s no surprise a Next.js release quickly followed the React 19 announcement. As well as React 19 support, there are improvements for debugging errors (shown in this post), after() is now stable, and forbidden() and unauthorized() are two new experimental ways to trigger 403 and 401 errors.

✅ Vite Ecosystem

One of the strongest points in Vite is the ecosystem around it. Vite took responsibilities from frameworks, freeing other maintainers from reinventing the wheel each time by offering a common ground where to collaborate, fostering a lot of explorations in the space.

✅ You Don't Need Next.js
