Many flagship applications that are written natively (such as Telegram, Instagram, etc.) use the full power of platform-specific native APIs (iOS, Android) to make transitions between opening/closing the keyboard animated and smooth.

Unfortunately, in react-native this aspect was given little attention and all react-native applications were suffering because of that - animations were rough, you couldn't write cross-platform code because some keyboard events were not available, etc. But with the advent of this library, everything changes... ๐Ÿ˜Ž
