    Agree. Will it be as performant as native? No. But will it be plenty performant for a password manager, yes.

    The only thing I wish RN and Flutter would figure out is bloat. File sizes are huge compared to native. A shame there can’t be a shared model in mobile apps for the core system.

      Flutter is native. It gets compiled to an executable, it just takes a render plane from the underlying OS and renders everything in it’s own engine. They’re working on a new render system that will make it go even faster.

      React Native is just a fancy web browser wrapping with some helper APIs.

        React native is not a browser. It uses native components.

        RN is native too I think, at least it advertises itself as a way to compile some kind of XML syntax into native widgets on either platform. An improvement to PWAs even if I despise typescript

          yeah, it displays native widgets but there is still a js engine (browser) running in the background. So the basically made a layer between native components and Javascript. But the code which is running is js and js is slow.
