React Native, your UX superhero

" summary

Claims that React Native’s superpower is flexibility and not magic, demonstrates that gesture-driven animations choke on the JS/native bridge bottleneck and shows concrete fixes: move heavy computation off the bridge using native-driven animations (preconfigured animation objects, JSI/Reanimated techniques), compare PanResponder-style round trips with native handlers, and measure visibly smoother motion. Includes a working repository with examples and a fallback strategy for shipping fast when time is short, plus notes on tradeoffs between dev speed and runtime performance.
