repack VS react-native-skia

Re.Pack is a bundler replacement for React Native's Metro bundler. It is a series of plugins for the popular Webpack bundler that enables some key features of "plain" React designed for code-splitting and lazy loading. WARNING: Using Re.Pack, although pretty straightforward, is a bigger change than the above. So experiment with above recommendations first.

We use our own Re.Pack, which is built around webpack and leverage Module Federation to support this kind of architecture optimally, allowing for collaborative and/or independent development and deployment. Repack doesn’t currently support Expo for development, but it should be possible to have it work in standalone mode for any mini-app. We could consider building this with you.

Maintaining a React Native app built in 2017. Biggest pain right now is using the Metro bundler. Since migrating our codebase from a Yarn v1 workspace to a Rush (pnpm-based) monorepo, our packages use symlinks which the Metro bundler doesn't support. I've had to go through solutions such as Microsoft's @rnx-kit/metro-resolver-symlinks but still end up with issues. Will look next in to trying Callstack's repack for building our apps instead of Metro, even though I'm very hesitant in switching build tools.

re:pack, a Webpack bundler for RN.

Re.pack is basically a toolkit that allows you to use Webpack and its Code-Splitting functionality and use them on React Native.

yes possibly, if https://github.com/react-native-skia/react-native-skia ever becomes a reality, react native could be shipped for all platforms including linux!
