I think one of the coolest things that Shopify is doing is this: We’re sponsoring Software Mansion and Krzysztof Magiera (co-founder of React Native for Android) in their open source efforts around React Native. and We are working with Discord to accelerate the open sourcing of FastList for React Native (a library which only renders list items that are in the viewport) and optimizing for Android. Basically RecyclerView for React Native.

Without synchronous view layout, it's not really possible to have a truly recycling view without many warts. We've (Wix) been hacking at this for years, and it's not possible. You either block the UI or view flash for the user if fast enough scrolling is performed. Facebook engineering promised synchronous layout will come at some point, which will open the door to that.

  Is Wix moving away from React Native at this point?

      Thanks for the info - I’m a big fan and very appreciative of Wix’s RN contributions!

  What about Flipkart's https://github.com/Flipkart/recyclerlistview https://github.com/Flipkart/recyclerlistview ?

    No web-only solution will give you a fully satisfactory result. It's just not possible. If you scroll fast enough, you will see either flickering or empty zones.
