Some that also come up are: * https://github.com/akveo/react-native-ui-kitten * https://github.com/draftbit/react-native-jigsaw/tree/master/packages/ui * https://github.com/callstack/react-native-paper * https://github.com/GeekyAnts/NativeBase * https://github.com/react-native-elements/react-native-elements

https://akveo.github.io/react-native-ui-kitten/ is a good alternative, i especially like their demo app, I can just refer a client to that and ask them what screens they like.

I found this issue: https://github.com/akveo/react-native-ui-kitten/issues/1704

React Native UI Kitten is a React Native implementation of the Eva Design system. It offers a set of general-purpose UI components styled in the same way to take care of visual appearance. There are a lot of standalone components available as well.

UI Kitten: UI Kitten is a React Native framework for creating stunning cross-platform mobile applications. It is based on Eva Design System and provides a set of general purpose UI components styled in a similar way.

Most RN UI libraries do not support responsive design by default. If you require font sizes to vary based on screen sizes or even user's font settings to accommodate native mobile accessibility settings or RN-web, you might end requiring to customize a lot of stuff to the point that you shouldn't use a UI library at all. Here's a deeper dive on this in the context of UI kitten, if you are keen.

Thanks - that link does not appear to be open access, anyways I don't think I've seen it. I'm familiar with Flutter at a high-level (Kevin Moore gave a great talk on it at Wasm I/O), and I think other than requiring users to work in Dart, it is probably one of the most powerful ways to do cross-platform UI today.

Worth noting that their original GPU backend was Skia, and now they are retooling around Flutter GPU (Impeller)[0], which is kind of designed similarly as an abstract rendering interface over platform-specific GPU APIs.

If you are considering Electron/React then I would suggest adding Flutter to your list of technologies to consider. It uses Dart (a language similar to C#) and has a lot going for it… relatively quick to get up to speed with, fantastic developer experience (e.g., hot reload, great IDE support, good development tools) and very strong cross-platform support: it generates native iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows and Linux executables. Check it out: https://flutter.dev/

You can find the React Native documentation here and Flutter Documentation here.

> There is actually a great issue thread on the Flutter GitHub that explains exactly why other solutions do not work correctly when compared to hooks [0]

Interesting. I assume you are referring to this comment in particular -> https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/51752#issuecomment... ?
