" summary

Mercari describes a layout API for server-driven UI that sends an ordered list of components and content so the app composes native screens at runtime using React Native, attributed strings with custom typography and links, and a defined set of actions. Claims: native UX with dynamic updates, used to target personalized home screens for over 5 million monthly active users. Tradeoffs include tighter backend coupling, growing client component complexity, backward compatibility and dynamic accessibility gaps.
