react-native-reanimated VS react-native-debugger

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.

Currently having issues with reanimated (expo installs 2.14.4). My app will crash randomly – possibly linked to these issues here and here.

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

One of is: https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated/issues/2327

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/)

Catalin Miron is also good. Reanimated 2 animations are still relevant. I also would suggest reading the reanimated docs here. That's how I find my way around.

I used to use this which has what I'm talking about, but I've had issues running it with hermes.

https://github.com/jhen0409/react-native-debugger, It is a great tool to debug redux , it comes with the default debugger like we use in web to debug redux.

Alternatively, instead of using the adb tool, you can also use the React Native Debugger app (https://github.com/jhen0409/react-native-debugger) to open the debugger on your device. This app provides a button that you can press to open the debugger, so you don't have to use the adb tool or shake the phone.

I use React Native Debugger, it is all-in-ome debugger (https://github.com/jhen0409/react-native-debugger).

React Native is a great tool for certain jobs. Depending on what you're trying to build, Swift may or may not be a better fit. As for debugging, React Native Debugger can be your best friend. https://github.com/jhen0409/react-native-debugger

There are many ways to debug your app by reaching for tools like React Dev Tools, a simple element inspector or a network tab that you're used to. Tools such as React Native Debugger are also quite popular, but they require turning on the 'Remote debugging' mode on your simulator, which I found sometimes interferes with the app and throws weird errors.
