Why we built a 35kB React Native alternative?
summary
A 35kB React Native alternative called PrestoUI replaces Facebook React Native to fit a constrained SDK and ships inside apps like BHIM saying it cuts binary bloat while still rendering native UI it achieves this by pushing minimal native glue relying on platform rendering and small runtime helpers using a compact DSL that compiles to a DSM and by offering a design‑to‑code flow and runtime UI caching for fast updates and 35kB binary savings
