React Native Development in Durham
Building with React Native for Durham organisations, where the interface uses real platform components and the logic runs in JavaScript. That split is why apps feel native and why performance problems concentrate in specific places — long lists, animations and anything doing substantial work while the user is scrolling.
Why this comes up
The problem
Scrolling stutters on a long list, and the cause is work happening in JavaScript while the user is dragging.
What you get
What we deliver
- Lists built with virtualisation rather than rendering everything
- Animations driven natively so they continue smoothly under load
- Heavy computation moved off the path that runs during interaction
- Images sized and cached properly, as these dominate memory on device
- Platform differences handled where behaviour genuinely diverges
- Performance measured on a mid-range device rather than a recent flagship

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

React Native Development in Durham — common questions
- Why do lists cause so much trouble?
- Because rendering everything is easy and expensive. A list of a thousand items built naively creates a thousand components, and virtualised rendering — keeping only what is near the viewport — is the difference between smooth scrolling and an app that stutters.
- What makes animations stutter?
- Driving them from JavaScript while it is busy. Animations that run natively continue smoothly regardless of what the logic thread is doing, which is why the same animation can be flawless in one screen and janky in another.
- Which device should we test on?
- A mid-range one a few years old, because that is what a large share of users have. Testing exclusively on recent hardware hides performance problems until reviews start mentioning them, by which point the fix is more expensive.
- Do we still write platform-specific code?
- Some, and less than with native development. Behaviour around permissions, notifications, back navigation and system dialogs genuinely differs, and handling those properly is what separates an app that feels native from one that clearly is not.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
