A React Native newsletter covering four topics: (1) Redraw, an experimental GPU-powered graphics library by William Candillon that compiles TypeScript functions into WebGPU shaders for React Native, enabling dynamic stroke widths, fills, and PBR lighting without JavaScript round-trips; (2) ReactVision Studio, a browser-based AR/VR editor for React Native with Meta Quest support; (3) Argent by Software Mansion, an agentic toolkit that lets AI assistants control the iOS Simulator directly (bypassing XCUITest) with React profiling and Instruments correlation, compared to Callstack's agent-device; and (4) react-native-swc, a drop-in Babel replacement for Metro using Rust-based SWC, claiming 8x faster transforms and 3x faster bundling.
