Better apps, less code, more platforms
summary
Tamagui combines a core style library, a component kit, and the Tamagui Static compiler that extracts CSS, does tree flattening, partial evaluation and hook removal to turn styled views into plain divs/Views. It swaps animation drivers (Reanimated or CSS) and emits CSS variables for themes so changing dark/light avoids full re-renders. The homepage flattens ~50 components, theme switches feel instantaneous, and build-time optimization drops render time from ~660ms to ~600ms and raises Lighthouse from ~80 to ~91.
