u/Hot-Understanding-67

I’m currently redesigning my app (available on both App Store and Play Store). The app has a lot of screens including onboarding,flat lists,

Lottie animations, and subscription/paywall screens.

I’m considering using NativeWind for the redesign but I have a few concerns:

1.	Performance on list-heavy screens — I have FlatLists with many items. I read that NativeWind v4 was 400% slower than StyleSheet in benchmarks. Has v5 improved this significantly?

2.	I’m already using Reanimated for animations - will NativeWind interfere with this at all?

3.	I’m also replacing my icons with Hugeicons which uses react-native-svg - any known conflicts with NativeWind?

Currently the app uses plain StyleSheet with react-native-size-matters for scaling, which I’m planning to remove during the redesign anyway.

For those who have used NativeWind in a production app with heavy animations and lists - was it worth it? Any regrets? Would love to hear real world experience rather than just docs.
