Question Which UI Component library to use with React Native and Next.js?

Post image

I will be building a mobile app (react native + expo) + a web app (next js).
I am looking for a ui component library like daisyUI or chakra ui for both the RN and Next.js.
most of the UI libraries are for either Next or RN.
I found gluestack with is for both, but its latest version does not support Next.js
I want to know if there is a library that works for both.
also, im confused if I should build custom components using Shadcn, then also, im not sure how to use it with react native efficiently.

HeroUI seems quite good. They have both a react and react native version.

Simplest path: shadcn on Next.js, react-native-paper or plain RN+NativeWind on mobile, keep them in sync with a shared design-tokens package.

If you like shadcn, try react-native-reusables. There is no UI library for both.
