Catching up on Node-API for React Native
Node-API for React Native is an alternative to JavaScript Interface (JSI) to call JavaScript from native code as well as a new auto-linked native module system, comparable to TurboModules.
In this talk I want to briefly introduce the project again (to frame why I feel it's important to our community) and then catch up on the progress the project has made since then (internal changes as well as advancements in Hermes and the Node.js project) and provide a couple of technical deep dives into key pieces of the architecture.
