Hi Bryan. Loved the article! I've been doing React Native for about a year-plus now. One of the things I've struggled with is making Android feel performant. The first render for heavy screens can be noticeably slow. Do you have any practices that you stick to to ensure Android performs well? Thanks!

We've got some SectionList and FlatList components in the app that can get pretty long (e.g. our Unit screen lists out every lesson and content-item in there, that's pretty big.)

We use the initialNumToRender prop to help out with rendering long lists like that - dunno if that's one of your performance bits, but it was a big help to us!
