    The most powerful virtual list component for React

    if it is group chat that many users can write messages into one group means it will be a lot from some point. and suppose there is another list for example user contact list in aside along with chat section, size of dom will grow in app. when user select some contact item react gets sluggish from its rerender aspect. but I don't recommend to start with it unless you are not observe performance issues and app layout is simple to implement this feature there is also https://virtuoso.dev/ for virtualization FYI.
