What Is This App?

It’s a React Native app built with Expo (SDK 54), running on the Hermes JavaScript engine. The backend is WordPress with a custom REST API. The app was built by an entity called “forty-five-press” according to the Expo config.

    It’s displaying from me through my piefed app. Only weird bit was the trippy fold up of the title as you scrolled down but that happens once

      Yeah. As soon as the transparent title hit the top, it started to stutter. Like 2 fps.

      I use Fennec on A54 (8Gb). It just does not seem right to be so laggy/stuttery as the content is merely text. How bad can the code rendering the content be?

      I have never accomplished such a site.

      And it really can’t be due to device and browser. Many others on different setup have stated the same.

      Visually similar site should run on moldy potato.
