Building NTWRK’s livestream shopping application w/ React Native
summary
NTWRK builds a production livestream shopping app in React Native that actually runs ultra‑low‑latency video, chat and auctions using Pusher Stream Agora for websockets chat and media plus a homegrown websocket for emoji and GraphQL for data; navigation uses react navigation + bottom sheet + tab view + jotai with a deep‑linking workaround to capture show params and route into nested detail screens; most code stays in JS (almost no Swift/Java) and a surprising performance bug drops 58 to 55 FPS dip fixed by removing a stray context state.
