Why use canary version of React for an intro tutorial?

Open josephrmartinez opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Curious to know if there is a specific reason to use the canary version of React in this tutorial. This is a change from a previous version of the tutorial that used React 18.3.1.

The tutorial now has a section that uses the useFormStatus hook, which is only available in the canary versions of React, but I'm wondering if there is anything else behind this decision that the Vercel team can share about this decision.

I prefer that they are ahead instead of behind because this powerful stuff, but yeah, annoying. Let's get React 19 and Next 15 out there!

The canary version is only needed for PPR (you can skip that section if you want)
