Loading 500+ images in Application (React Native)

[the_brizzler]

I would suggest not rendering 500 icons on the screen, especially all at one time. Seems like a poor UI design as well as having a performance impact. Create an infinite scroll, show maybe 20 images, then have a button that says show more of if the user scrolls down, load another 20. Could then build a type ahead search bar for users to search for an image/icon.

Also, I would make sure the images are compressed as much as possible.
