Why I stopped using React Native style libraries #coding #appdesign #reactnative

A React Native developer explains why they avoid third-party styling libraries and rely solely on React Native's built-in StyleSheet API. Key reasons include reducing package dependencies, easier SDK upgrades, and a preference for building truly native iOS/Android apps rather than cross-platform web experiences. The author advocates for creating reusable styled components with variants (title, subtitle, body) to avoid repetition, and highlights using Expo UI with Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI components for a native feel.
