react-native-reanimated VS neutralinojs

Supports Animation: Tamagui leverages the popular open-source library — Moti as a reanimated driver for animation libraries such as react-native-reanimated and React Native Animated.

FYI react-native-reanimated (https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated) is not the Animated API from React Native. react-native-reanimated allows JS code to run on a UI thread that is able to synchronously modify layout, providing alternative synchronous ways for you to hook into the layouting. For instance, as opposed to the asynchronous `measure()` method provided by React Native to measure layouts, react-native-reanimated allows one to call their version of `measure()` (https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/docs/api/...) to perform the same operation on the UI thread, synchronously.

By using libraries like Reanimated, React Native MMKV, and React Native Skia, you leverage the native thread. However, I know there are developers building amazing things who think outside the box. I'm always thrilled when I read engineering blogs from companies like Netflix, Meta, and Shopify. They create solutions beyond the limits.

Reanimated is probably what you're looking for. https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/

use third party lib that is a beast, but will require a lot of work and upfront knowledge (https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/)

3. Reanimated 2

the solution is react-native-reanimated. reanimated helps us to create smooth and performant animations with minimal setup, with a lot of helpers, and is relatively easy to use. another useful library for handling gesture animations is react-native-gesture-handler which is defined as:

One of my first impressions was the vast difference in ease of usage of the React Native Gesture Handler in comparison to React Native’s Gesture Responder System. One less obvious impression was how React Native Gesture Handler’s seamless integration with React Native Reanimated transformed fluidity and complexity of animations. Hence, I concluded on leveraging on the power boost from the duo. Armed to the teeth with weapons of mass destruction, I proceeded on the journey to build NestedLists. 😂

I've been writing some gestures and animation code for React Native using https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated library, which has an opt-in mechanism to offload animation and input handling code onto native UI thread, to make sure it's not interrupted by application code in JS thread.

I don't have a good grasp on the native implementation, but here's an issue I opened a while back with a repro: https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated/issues/2845

We tried using pywebview for a cross-platform desktop app when it was version 3.x and some of the features were limited, especially when it came to systray interactions. Will have to try it out again. In the end, for that specific project, we ended up settling on NeutralinoJS. Wails was another big contender but due to limited GoLang resources in-house, we decided not to use it. Reference: https://neutralino.js.org/

Look into Neutralinojs and Tauri.

Honestly, I have been LOVING https://neutralino.js.org/

Neutralino.js | Tauri

Doing some research about Photino, I also found Tauri and Neutralinojs.

Yes. You need a wrapper for the game though. Something like https://neutralino.js.org/ should be enough.
