Every React Native team hits the same wall: you want a widget, a Live Activity, or something in the Dynamic Island, and suddenly you're maintaining SwiftUI in a separate extension target.
is my attempt to keep that work in JSX. You describe the widget once; it compiles to SwiftUI on iOS and Jetpack Compose on Android.
Widgets aren't normal RN views. They run in a tight process on the OS's schedule, often when your app isn't even open. There's no JS runtime in there. So Brik doesn't "render" at runtime: it produces native view code ahead of time.
That tradeoff is the whole product: stay in one language for the common cases, drop to native only when you must.
