flash-list VS react-native-fast-image

Also, yes, scrolling handling with lots of images can be a problem, but don't panic, React Native has some good partners 😉. Shopify created a library specifically to deal with this problem called FlashList ⚡ which is now the solution to this problem.

Use flashlist

FlashList is what you want https://shopify.github.io/flash-list/

I think there's a lot of apps out there that have this type of navigation. I'm working myself on one like that :) It's doable, BUT you have to make sure to work on all sorts of perf improvements. You should also check out FlashList https://shopify.github.io/flash-list/

In my experience Flashlist from Shopify mostly solves the issue with large lists. I'd prefer if it was built-in to the platform, still...

It can't render same height items. I reported bug, still wait for response

2. FlashList

Hey there, thanks for checking it out. I am using a Realm local db for persistence, PostgressSQL for server. But the caching for images is handled by Fast Image (https://github.com/DylanVann/react-native-fast-image)

Sounds like react-native-fast-image is what you're looking for but you can't use it with expo go.

Yeah man, here you go.

It’s hard to tell without the sample of your code, but a lot of the issues I had in my projects where solved using react-native-fast-image

One of the common performance issues can be due to large image files or a lot of images inside our app. We can optimize those images with the help of an awesome library -react-native-fast-image.

However, you can easily resolve these issues using third-party libraries, like react-native-fast-image. This library is available for both iOS and Android and works really well.
