I'm having a little trouble feeling comfortable with all the noise here on X about React Native vs. Native. I'm building an app that will use a lot of animations, especially Rive and Lottie. Are there any good benchmarks comparing them? I just want to build in peace 😭

Thanks for asking! I have an internal bench and @octanejs is already ahead on js-framework. Yet @trueadm and I think it's far its ceiling: instead of using the universal renderer, we should compile specifically for Lynx. Codex on it. Stay tuned!

The gap to native is closable. We rarely share benchmarks (they're hard!), but here's one we ran at @LynxJS_org in Jan to find our own bottlenecks. @reactnative made cross-platform mainstream. Now it's time for all of us to chase near-native perf without giving it up.

Shopify is moving from React Native to Native
Shopify is moving all of our mobile apps from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin. Going all-in on React Native in 2020 was hugely successful for us. We saved a ton of time by building features...

Here's what I think about the @ShopifyEng RN → native migration article: When I rebuilt the Expo Go UI using Jetpack Compose last year, I already felt that all declarative UI frameworks are fairly similar in use, and that agents do a good job migrating between them when it
