Say hi to the new Developer Experience features we just announced at React Conf! ⚛️✨ (🧵 1/4) Coming in React Native 0.83, we're introducing new capabilities for performance, with support for several Web Performance APIs and the Performance Panel in React Native DevTools. These are a massive leap forward for JavaScript and React profiling features in a familiar, integrated UI.
