This is honestly so inspiring. Jay fixes React Native list performance, and doesn't use a single line of native code to do it. (...thus proving once again that top-notch React Native performance is rarely constrained by JavaScript performance, but rather by time, skill, creativity, and dedication!) @jmeistrich



⭐️ New @ir_ignite release out, version 10.1.3, where we removed `eslint-plugin-n`, `eslint-config-standard`, and `eslint-plugin-promise` to simplify our standard eslint setup and fix some dependency conflicts. Tested with yarn/npm -- report issues if you find any. Thanks to @coolsoftware.dev for the PR, and @Stefan_Wallin for reporting! github.com/infinitered/ig…

We'll launch react-native-filament this week - a blazingly fast physically based 3D rendering engine built with C++ for React Native! 🚀 As a teaser, here's a 47 line component to load a 3D model from the web, render it and rotate, pan and zoom into it using gesture handler! 🤯

Just installed the app, only 29mb? I thought React Native was super bloated tho?!
