Stream-Framework VS classnames

I have looked into a getstream.io integration, however it seems that the Ruby SDK is really treated as a second class citizen. There's bugs with the documented API (I'm having issues even creating users and querying users), the usage of the gem is low and there is an open issue since May that no one has even looked at, which doesn't give me hope for long term support.

An ultralight social media app with no dependencies that can run on shared web hosting. It's an API like Getstream, so F/E is up to you. I've had a fork of it in production for 2.5 years on a subscription site that generates a small income.

Now, I'm seeking your advice and opinions. If you have experience using Stream or MirrorFly for chat implementation, I'd greatly appreciate any insights you can provide. Here are some questions I have:

Think about the edge that you can have over thousands other people looking for a job like you. One of the ways to do it – tailor your (even small) experience to the company you are applying to. E.g. Let's take a company like Stream that have an open-source Swift SDK, try to contribute to their SDK, maybe close some `good-first-issue`s here and there, do some documentation improvements, enrich their example app. So that when you feel like you are ready to knock their door – you already have an edge over others – you don't need onboarding (because you already know most of their codebase, you even completed your first few tasks while yet not being employed!)

This is absolutely absurd. I mean I 100% believe it happens, it's just absurd that the Tier 1 admin bot is this bad.

I too firmly believe the tier 1 admins are just this program - https://getstream.io/ And reddit doesn't want to admit that humans are not actually reviewing things

Really depends on so many variables, and comes down to knowing the audience. I built a lightweight social network api platform to do a lot of what getstream.io and OSSN does, but the way users engaged with it was nothing like what I expected. One use case, for example, would have been mostly satisfied with WordPress and Mailchimp. Forums are very familiar to people and still used by a lot of "I don't do social media" types. At the risk of making a sweeping generalization, if you have an older target audience they will be happy with a forum. If you have a younger target audience they will prefer the sequential post / react style of interacting, like Discord or Instagram.

The component needs the classname dependency and a search icon which I referenced to work. So install the classname package and download the search icon below.

But of course, it is a button, so it could have multiple variants: primary and secondary(you can increase the number of customizable params, but we will limit it to 1, variant). To implement this you can use any library for combining classnames, for example, classnames, clsx. Let’s use the classic one, "classnames".

Use classnames and you can comma delimited your class names where needed.

To get started with our image modal implementation, i'll assume you already have a React project set up. For UI i’m using Tailwind CSS. But you can use any UI library as your wish. For the image cropping and rotating functionality, we'll be utilizing the react-easy-crop library. This library provides a simple and intuitive way to crop and interact with images and videos within a React component. We will also use the heroicons and classnames libraries in our tutorial. To install all the libraries and their dependencies, open your terminal and navigate to your project's directory. Run the following command:

Save yourself some headache and use https://github.com/JedWatson/classnames

There is an NPM module called classnames that makes this a bit easier: https://www.npmjs.com/package/classnames

To use the global Tailwind types from styles/cssClasses.d.ts, I've leveraged a lot of work from this post, so credit goes there for a lot of the complex TypeScript wizardry that makes things work. In essence, it builds upon the classnames (or clsx) to provide a helper function that gives us with the type safety we're after. This cleverness means we get type checking that works with whitespace, multiple classes (e.g., "container p-5")and arbitrary values (e.g., "border-[5px]"). The input "container p-5 invalid-class" provides the nifty error message:

but I wouldn't recommend it, because I think the point of using tailwind is to not having to abstract class into component based style. it even better to write tailwind classes into the html directly and to use tailwind-fun sparingly and only if you needed to add logic to your classes. tailwind-fun purpose is more like of https://www.npmjs.com/package/classnames rather than any other css library

Use the classnames library, that way I can group the utility classes together (one line) and break them up into multiple lines, and additionally have some of them be conditional based on variables/parameters;
