Building li.st for Android with Exponent and React Native
summary
li.st for Android is a large Exponent + React Native app that ships JavaScript all the way down and tests limits: implemented a custom incremental list view because React Native lacks recycled rows, uses 3200 lines of navigation code built on NavigationExperimental/XNavigation, offloads animations to native to avoid JS jank, implements three parallel shared‑element approaches for different Android versions, supports over the air updates but once reverts a bad native API change, and reports crash rates comparable to native iOS.
