## What it is
A high-performance list view component for React Native and web that uses cell recycling to reuse off-screen views, inspired by Android's RecyclerView and iOS's UICollectionView. It is pure JavaScript with no native dependencies and supports complex layouts like staggered grids and variable-height items.

## Use cases
- render smooth 60fps infinite scrolling lists in react native
- replace flatlist to fix memory growth and blank cells while fast scrolling
- display a staggered grid with variable height items
- build a shared list component that works on both react native and web via react-native-web
- show sticky headers or footers in a long scrolling list
- animate item add/remove and layout changes in a list

## When to choose
- you need to render very large or unbounded lists without memory overhead
- you want one list implementation across react native and web
- you need grid, staggered grid, or layout switching with scroll position preservation

## When to avoid
- you have small, simple lists where flatlist or a plain map is sufficient
- you need native-only features or heavy native integration
- you want a library with frequent updates and active development
