#3Big win for React Native! I'm curious how the user feedback will be.
One thing that isn't super clear in the article: Is their iOS app already on React Native?

#4Oh this makes me nervous. Discord on android is slow and bloated and occasionally memory leaky. I have a tasker routine to restart it nightly...
If the app gets any laggier or slower I will probably have to abandon it...

It is, has been from the start.

#6That’s good. Having one app be RN and one native is probably the worst thing you can do.
That said, seems like Android users really dislike this update as the app seems slower, buggier and less polished than it used to be.

It depends on your definition. The chat view, where you probably spend 99% of your time, was native as-of 2019. Not sure if there's been any progress made since then.

If it's already bad, isn't that a reason to be excited about the change? From what you say, it's already at the brink of unacceptable in terms of performance...

#10Do they share code between desktop and RN?
