<FlashList /> Support

[manuthecoder]

Description

First off, this library is truly a blessing. Reordering lists in react native is a pain and most of the other libraries are oudated.

I was wondering if support for <FlashList /> would be implemented in the near future. I'd be happy to implement it ASAP in my productivity platform.

Why?

• Supporting FlashList would also add web functionality, so it might be a good thing to look into.
• Android and Web performance would be so much better!
• FlashList is widely used by many applications already

Possible implementation

Probably more complicated than this, but essentially you would replace all instances of <FlatList /> with Shopify's <FlashList />

Hi @manuthecoder, I already tried it a while back and when you swapped two items of different heights the list would jump and I believe that happened because of the recycling algorithm. This is unfortunately a big limitation for lots of use cases.

If there's a way to overcome this issue then there's a couple of things that need to be rewritten from scratch, so it's not really a drop-in replacement. I'd be open for it, but in the near future it won't happen.
