Nice article! It would be good to dive deeper into some of the technical choices you made while building a performance-first app. For example, one of the hard decisions with RN nowadays is how to implement navigation: did you go the recommended way (react-navigation) or did you adopt an alternative (react-native-navigation/airbnb’s/ex-navigation )?

Did native mobile developers work on the react-native app, or javascript (web) developers? In the latter case, how difficult was it to leverage native components and write thin js layers?
