Oh wow, I didn't notice that it went to a canvas! Thanks for pointing that out. Definite consideration for whether or not to do use that in the future.

I don't know if there's a plan to create a DOM render but that's definitely possible the way flutter is done. It's just much more work of course.
flutter is based on skia rendering engine and recently they added support for web assembly, it's a matter of time. the thing is, think in terms of capacity and vision, react native is done, flutter will move.
React Native is certainly not done.
it doesn't look promising with the latest beef in the community and the last release notes that I saw in this project - to be real, they're laughable in comparison with flutter 1.9 changelog.
They just introduce the new JavaScript engine just for react-native (hermes.js).
The theme editor is a nice example where it makes sense.
