exo VS nextjs-tailwind-ionic-capacitor-starter

SEEKING FREELANCER | REMOTE | Designer

Looking for a UX designer who has exposure to DevOps/Cloud/Programming.

Building numerous new features for https://exo.deref.io and need someone to help wireframe, flesh out the UX, and design high-fidelity screens for implementation.

The ideal candidate for this project is someone who has dabbled in engineering and devops, but is primarily a designer. Also a good fit would be those who have experience designing cloud/devops/eng products in the past.

CSS/HTML implementation skills a big plus, but not strictly required.

Contact [email protected] with a statement of interest, your rates, and a link to your portfolio or other evidence of relevant experience. Thanks!

We're working on something like this at Deref: https://exo.deref.io/ - The version of our Exo tool that is out there now is a local process & docker container orchestrator with log viewer etc. We're working on adding support for a rich set of component types like functions, queues, workflows, cron jobs, etc. Everything would have a nice console GUI, so you don't need to be an expert at infrastructure-as-code, yet you'd get a version-controlled manifest file that you can use for reproducible deployments. We plan to support deployment to your own infrastructure or an eventual PaaS platform.

If folks are interested in working on something like this, my email address is in my profile. Don't hesitate to reach out.

Deref | Software Engineer | Remote USA | Full-Time

Looking for engineers with Cloud experience and a passion for UX/DexEx.

You'd be working on this thing: https://exo.deref.io/

We're a pre-seed funded startup on a mission to help developers build better services.

Competitive salary, generous equity.

Hi there, I'm the lead on this project. We're trying to improve the dev experience for service development. Lots of folks who have workflows on top of docker-compose, but there is still a big gap between what compose can offer and what real projects and organizations need. This release of our tool, exo, adds compose compatibility and provides a nice graphical log viewer, some UX for starting/stopping containers, etc. We've got big plans, but would love to hear from you about what would improve your den env.

Also, if you have compose projects that don't work, please do file an issue on github! Exo is open source: https://github.com/deref/exo - We're aiming for extremely robust compose compatibility, but aren't 100% there yet.

Deref's mission is to enable engineers everywhere to build and maintain world-class cloud services. Coding the perimeter is a fundamental design tenant of exo, our DevOps toolkit that enhances your development environment.

wow, that's a weird limitation.

The README says: "SSR is currently disabled for the Next.js app as the app will be fully client-side rendered for iOS and Android. This is a limitation we are working to address in a future update."

I guess it's because CapacitorJS pre-bundles the entire PWA for the App Stores:

"Of course, you also could load the app completely remotely by changing the server.url configuration for Capacitor to point to your SSR'ed Next.js app, but that has other challenges such as App Store approval if the app doesn't check the boxes for Apple to qualify it as an app that has enough native integration (at that point this is on you, not Capacitor)"

https://github.com/mlynch/nextjs-tailwind-ionic-capacitor-st...

But I don't understand why SSR would be disabled for the NextJS PWA on the web?

Maybe Max Lynch aka. @mlynch aka. @yesimahuman could provide some insight here.

If you want to use something like tailwind to customize the content of your pages, that is a decent option. You would use Ionic for the shell and Tailwind for your page designs. Take a look at this example if you want to explore that route (in React though): https://github.com/mlynch/nextjs-tailwind-ionic-capacitor-starter

Max Lynch from Ionic has a great repo demonstrating this. He uses it to get Next to work with Ionic and Capacitor but the idea is essentially the same.

Agreed! Next.js works great with this model! I’d recommend Capacitor over Cordova (similar but more modern). Here’s an example: https://github.com/mlynch/nextjs-tailwind-ionic-capacitor-st...

You can use Next with React Router, making it function exactly as a React app with nested routes. This project shows this working with Ionic's router, but the same setup can be used with React Router for the same outcome.

Also, note that this repository is a boilerplate for all 3, which uses ionic capacitor, in one repository: https://github.com/mlynch/nextjs-tailwind-ionic-capacitor-starter , I guess it is not using nextjs SSR capability though.

If you're confused by all the project names and how they work together, don't worry, I'll break down each part of the stack each project is concerned with, along with some visuals and code samples demonstrating how all the projects work together. At the end I'll share a starter project with these technologies installed and working together that can form the foundation of your next app.
