24 alternatives to Flash Calendar – performance focused calendars for React Native

Hi everyone! I just open sourced my first package: a new way of building calendars in React Native. It uses Shopify's FlashList component as its foundation, along with React optimization techniques to re-render only what changed. I'm using in production for my side-project and it behaves incredibly well. I hope it can be useful for more of you! Bests, Marcelo

    HyperFast, a React Native starter kit. Idea to app store in a week.▲24

    I've been a React Native developer since 2018, and I've built a whole lot of products with it. I know how hard it is for newcomers (and pros) to build an app, get it approved and actually attract users. It's so easy to get bogged down in confusing documentation and 3rd party dependency fluff. The good news for you: I've read every different push notification service/auth provider/etc's documentation and made informed choices, so you don't have to! I've made HyperFast (https://hyperfa.st), a service which includes: - A boilerplate to get you up and running (hyper) fast -…

    I made React with a faster Virtual DOM▲109

    Hi! I made a React compatibility library for a Virtual DOM library (https://github.com/aidenybai/million). The idea is to have much faster rendering (a compiler optimizes virtual DOM beforehand) while ensuring the same developer experience React provides. This is very, VERY early stage, so be prepared for weird bugs / plugin incompatibility / etc. If you have any suggestions, I'd be more than happy if you replied in a comment with it! You can spin up the demo here >> https://stackblitz.com/github/aidenybai/million-react-compat
