Experimental React Native ListView implementation supporting direct view binding without going through the React Native bridge.
See the following blog post for more details:
This repo implements a use-case of a Contact List having 5000 rows with React Native.
The scroll performance and memory consumption should be comparable to what we're used to in pure-native becuase the React Native bridge doesn't play a part beyond initialization. Try it out! (on a real device). Let me know how well you think it performs.
Check out the branch better-bind, it contains a much nicer binding API (it now looks like regular react code). It also supports relayout of cells from native!
