Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

RNR 373 - Real Life React Native: Chime
Q: What practical tips would you give for optimizing performance and testing at scale?
Instrumenting telemetry early to measure startup and interactions, addressing Android and iOS life-cycle differences, using build-time optimizations like remote build cache, and selectively adopting features like Flashlist while ensuring proper profiling across platforms. Also, adopt an efficient GraphQL strategy with pre-compilation and robust testing, including end-to-end tests with Detox and AI-assisted validation while maintaining human oversight.
RNR 373 - Real Life React Native: Chime
Q: How has your React Native stack evolved, and what are the core technologies you rely on?
We use modern React Native with Hermes and the new architecture, TypeScript across the codebase, Expo Modules alongside our own native modules, React Navigation with custom implementations, Redux for state, GraphQL with Apollo, and a shared component library and design system. We also leverage animations via Reanimated, Skia, and Filament where needed.
