NativeBase VS react-native-reanimated-carousel

Gluestack, like any other customizable UI library, is built to make styling less cumbersome. It comprises a set of themed and unstyled components easily integrated across different platforms and devices. Originally, Gluestack was a part of NativeBase, a component library for both React and React Native. With performance and maintainability in mind, NativeBase was split into two parts, focusing on a universal CSS-in-JS library and an independent set of unstyled components. Gluestack has several advantages, some of which are:

Native-base

Just like the other libraries mentioned in this article, Gluestack is another unstyled component library. Originally a part of NativeBase, the developer team created this library to prevent bloat and enhance maintainability of the project.

KumaUI : Another relatively new contender, Kuma uses zero runtime CSS-in-JS to create headless UI components which allows a lot of flexibility. It was heavily inspired by other zero runtime CSS-in-JS solutions such as PandaCSS, Vanilla Extract, and Linaria, as well as by Styled System, ChakraUI, and Native Base. ### Vue

You can see timeline of that here: https://github.com/GeekyAnts/NativeBase/issues/4302

NativeBase is being abandoned unfortunately , I wouldn’t start a new project with it https://github.com/GeekyAnts/NativeBase/issues/4302

I think it can be done with reanimated carousel

You just didn't search hard enough. Try reanimated carousel.

https://github.com/dohooo/react-native-reanimated-carousel is the best solution right now: active development, implemented using Reanimated and easy to use. Unfortunately FlatList doesn't work for this case.

An alternative which I do recommend is https://github.com/dohooo/react-native-reanimated-carousel which is frequently updated and works on Android, iOS and web

I have a component built using React Native Carousel and I'm attempting to add some data to the beginning of the array however the component flashes when doing so. I'm attempting to use React Native Freeze however it does not have the desired effect.

You may check this awesome package to implement a similar view, you can take their implementation and do it your own way using reanimated https://github.com/dohooo/react-native-reanimated-carousel

Snap carousel has alot of performance issues https://github.com/dohooo/react-native-reanimated-carousel This one is great

https://github.com/dohooo/react-native-reanimated-carousel This package already have a vertical carousel and exposing their animated values and uses reanimated v2 And check this snack it uses the animated values provided to animate the pagination dots I think u can really inspire the same animation u wanna from here
