-// This is used to compute margins (rather than flexbox gap) due to Yoga bugs:
+// On web we use margin to calculate gap, as aspectRatio does not properly size
+// all images on web. On native though we cannot rely on margin, since the
+// negative margin interferes with the swipe controls on pagers.
