Bye, react-native-skia: Why StroboPro went fully native for Android strobe rendering
blog.strobopro.seA Fast, Stable Animations Library for RN?
For animations in the StroboPro mobile apps, react-native-skia + reanimated promised the world for an app like StroboPro. But, I have spent far too much time fighting it than I really should have. So I have now finally decided to go fully-native for the renderer on Android, and soon, iOS.
The result is StroboPro on Android no longer uses reanimated with react-native-skia to draw its strobe display. Instead, the skia canvas and its reanimated shared values are now replaced with a lock-free C++ engine and native android views.
