This issue: RN EU Roundups


Welcome to the October issue of the React Native Newsletter!

Last month, Infinite Red sent a group of representatives to participate in Callstack's RN EU 2023 conference in beautiful, historic, and exciting Wrocław, Poland. Amongst that group was our CTO Jamon Holmgren, who gave a presentation on developing Flame, an AI-based CLI that can help developers upgrade the React Native version used in their apps with far less tedium than the usual, manual methods.

Have a listen to our new React Native Radio Podcast to hear all about this exciting React Native EU conference from Infinite Red's team to get the full story. Jamon also participated in a crossover Podcast with Callstack at the RN EU conference. Check it out here!
