Yes I did. And yes I did. React Native is ALOT slower than native. However:
- Depending on the use case this is actually not an issue
- You can always outsource very heavy-duty work to native modules that run outside the JS thread.
- React Native runs two seperate threads by default; JS and UI. For example a loading spinner can still run smoothly while the JS thread does heavy work in the background.
With Current we pushed an JS only app to the limits. Handling hundreds of nostr events, parsing them and rendering UI components from them really was difficult, but it ran smoothly on most devices.
I would not recommend running POW in a react native app without using native modules
