Problem

How would you implement a feature in React Native while keeping native performance acceptable? Focus on the design choices you would make to avoid jank, reduce unnecessary re-renders, and decide when native code is justified.

What to Cover

  • How you would structure the feature in React Native
  • How you would reduce JS-thread and render overhead
  • How you would handle lists, images, and animations
  • When you would introduce native modules or platform-specific code

Constraints

  • Keep the UI responsive on mid-range devices
  • Avoid unnecessary bridge traffic and re-renders
  • Preserve maintainability unless profiling proves a native optimization is needed
