Mine is more than 3 years old! I guess I should consider refreshing it soon.

I recently updated mine, so it’s less than a year old. Do you think a more recent photo has a better impact?

Barnaby · Answer

Keep mine updated every year. What’s your strategy for updating your LinkedIn profile picture?

Benjamin Lewis Anderson · Answer

Flutter has some nice built-in performance profiling tools like the Timeline view and Flutter inspector. For React Native, I've found the React DevTools profiler super helpful for identifying perf bottlenecks. Beyond that, common strategies like lazy loading, avoiding unnecessary re-renders, and optimizing expensive calculations go a long way. Oh and make sure your app bundles are tree-shaken and minified for prod!

When optimizing mobile apps with Flutter or React Native, I concentrate on reducing unnecessary renders and leveraging efficient state management

Farwa Abbas · Answer

One thing I do is to make sure we’re only building what’s necessary. For me, keeping the widget tree simple and avoiding unnecessary complexity can make a big difference.

Answer

With React Native, I usually start by using native modules for heavy tasks and keep an eye on reducing unnecessary renders to keep the app smooth.

Pablo Ani · Answer

For Flutter, I focus on minimizing widget rebuilds and optimizing animations. Profiling tools are super helpful to spot performance bottlenecks

Answer

My strategy involves minimizing the use of expensive operations during rendering and optimizing the state management. I also make use of lazy loading and asynchronous operation to improve performance.

Joshua Daniel Scott · Answer

I usually profile the app to identify performance bottlenecks, then optimize code in those areas - things like minimizing re-renders, caching data, and using async operations. Also make sure to test on lower-end devices. What specific techniques have worked well for you?

Hassan · Answer

I tackle performance  optimization by focusing on efficient component rendering and managing state effectively. For Flutter, I use the DevTools suite, and for React Native, I rely on tools like Flipper.

Mae Twyman · Answer

I make sure to optimize images and assets in both Flutter and React Native apps. Lazy loading and caching strategies go a long way in improving performance.
