When We Reach for Skia on Order Books
Not financial advice. Verify claims independently.
Desk rule: Skia for dense painted books; FlashList for lists. How we decide inside a fixed-price sprint.
If the acceptance test says “scroll a book at 60fps with heat cells,” we budget Skia and a spike week. If it says “readable ladder, 15 levels,” we stay on FlashList/Reanimated and keep the sprint honest.
Scope is the product. Graphics libraries are not a personality.
Our flagship case study is Stock Picks — paper trading loops, quote fanout, and fixed-scope sprints.
