Assess
Reason for selection
Lynx is the first credible React Native rival: Rust tooling, dual-threaded UI engine and proven at TikTok scale. Early exploration now could position us for future performance wins.
Key questions
- How easy is it to build and iterate?
- Overall DX versus React Native + Expo.
- Responsiveness & runtime performance.
- Deployment complexity.
- Feature parity (image manipulation, Bluetooth, etc.).
Assessment approach
- Build a small POC replicating core app patterns.
- Research unsupported but important features.
- Compare Expo/EAS deployment workflow and performance metrics.
Potential testers
- Senior mobile devs (Tom, Morgs, Gam).
