Server side rendered native screens just seem like fancy words for browser to me… I get that it’ll have native performance and responsiveness, but still maybe

  Ah, my mistake, it should say "server-driven," which is more accurate. The view isn't actually rendered on the server, it just seems to be sent over in a declarative format, which the client then renders into a native view.

        Sorry if the short response seemed rude. No is the answer to both of your questions. RN isn’t just “HTML in a webview” like PhoneGap or Cordova: elements are actually rendered as native UI components. E.g., a <Text> element becomes a native UILabel on iOS and a TextView on Android.
