Snapchat open-sourced Valdi, a cross-platform UI framework that compiles TypeScript components into native views using a C++ layout engine, avoiding web views and JavaScript bridges. The framework has been battle-tested in Snap's production apps for 8 years and features automatic view recycling, hot reload, and flexible adoption into existing native codebases. This follows similar releases from TikTok (Lynx) and Meta's React Native architecture updates, signaling a new wave of cross-platform development tools. The newsletter also covers updates to Storybook 10, Svelte developments, and various JavaScript tooling news.
