Schedule a tweet about React Server Components for tomorrow morning
I'll create and schedule that for you. Tweet created and scheduled: "React Server Components aren't replacing client components — they're giving you the choice of where code runs. Server for data, client for interactivity. The mental model is simple once it clicks." Scheduled for tomorrow at 9:00 AM EST Category: Tech ID: 682f4a...
Now create a 4-tweet thread expanding on that, save as draft
Thread created (4 tweets), saved as draft: 1/ React Server Components aren't replacing client components — they're giving you the choice of where code runs. 2/ Server Components = data fetching, heavy imports, SEO content. Zero JS shipped to the browser for these. 3/ Client Components = interactivity, state, effects. onClick, useState, animations — they still work exactly the same. 4/ The trick: default to Server, opt into Client when you need browser APIs. Your bundle shrinks, your users notice. Draft ID: 682f4b... Ready to review and schedule when you are.
