Successful ReactNexus 2023

We partnered up with neostack, reactify, and React Bangalore to organize ReactNexus 2023 on the 7th and 8th of July. We had an amazing time attending the conference in person in Bangalore.

We also cached up with some folks from the ReactPlay community who were attending the conference. It always feels great to see friends you have been meeting online in person.

With our community members, we held a small giveaway during the conference and received a good response for it too.

Community highlights

• The ReactPlay GitHub repository crossed 1,000 stars!

Featured contributor

We have two amazing contributors this time:

1. Saksham Chandel

2. Joy Poddar

Both Saksham and Joy truly went above and beyond in contribution, making it an even more amazing place for everyone!
