I've tried making a chat application using Ionic and it's been tough.
The main issue is infinite scrolling by scrolling upward.
The user scrolls to the top, we make a note of the current top comment, load the next set of results, add them to the page.
At this point, the scrollbar is still at the top, so we need to manually scroll down to the previous top comment.
It can be a little jumpy. It certainly isn't smooth like WhatsApp etc.
Does RN have a list view that deals with this issue out of the box?
