but at a minimum it will add some awkwardness to your code, since you'll have native Javascript + Javascript that gets injected into the web view, which will either mean you'll give up type safety, auto-complete, etc. or you'll need to setup a whole separate build process to compile the webview Javascript.

For rich text, we use a library called linkify-it, which assists with the tokenization, then we we join those tokens, wrapping segments with native components (e.g. View, Text, etc.). I'm not a big fan of the linkify-it library, because I think the interface is awkward and unintuitive,
