The speaker had subscribed to 10 or 15 newsletters and received news by email almost every day. Because React Native, JavaScript, and front-end topics overlap, different newsletters sometimes cover the same subject.
Best React Native newsletters to read
An unidentified Callstack speaker discusses the newsletters they read and what makes them engaging.
The speaker recommends the React Native newsletter from Infinite Red and says Callstack is sometimes mentioned in it. They also read Tyler’s UI.dev newsletter, which includes a weekly JavaScript riddle, and JavaScript Weekly alongside other React newsletters.
Cassidy Williams’s newsletter includes a riddle whose answer appears the following week. Readers who submit an answer may be mentioned in the next issue, creating continuity and giving them a reason to return.

- Interactive features such as weekly riddles can make a newsletter more enjoyable to read.
- Following up with answers and reader submissions can give subscribers a reason to return for the next issue.
