Thank you for writing this. Curious if you were starting from scratch, are there other libraries you would pick/avoid not mentioned here? Thinking about tinkering with RN in my free time more (it's been a while since I last did)

good question! Zeego by @rojo.bsky.social is great for cross-platform native context menus (although unfortunately very ugly on Android, but that’s Android’s fault not RN lol). And if you’re just doing iOS, swiftui-react-native by @alevy.bsky.social basically lets you just build a SwiftUI app

I’d basically avoid things that just are JS-only components - usually they’re pretty janky and not much better than something you can put together yourself. Gradually there’s more and more native options in the ecosystem which is great to see

Also, totally give Expo Router a shot, it’s a cool take on Nextjs for native apps
