recyclerlistview VS react-native-reanimated

You could try a Recycler list view https://github.com/Flipkart/recyclerlistview . I personally haven’t used it but I’ve heard a lot of good things about it

If you need more customization you can check out https://github.com/Flipkart/recyclerlistview and merge your flatlist into one recyclerlistview with different rendering types

FlashList is based on RecyclerListView but has an API similar to FlatList, which makes migration very simple and has many additional features. For example, FlashList provides metrics API, which allows you to measure performance problems and find proper params configuration for your list component. Also, it supports animation with Reanimated and layouts like Masonry.

I read about FlashList, Big-List, RecyclerListView. I'll give it a try to check if any of them improves performance.

🚀 Using recyclerlistview for rendering messages

Try looking into https://github.com/Flipkart/recyclerlistview -- It has a bit of a learning curve but the performance improvements that you get out of box are well worth it. Try it after the other improvements people in this thread mentioned :D

https://github.com/Flipkart/recyclerlistview if you want to go even further than FlatList, but for most cases FlatList just works

Why can't you try RecyclerListView, Flipkart is using it in production.

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.
