spectrum VS expo

For a good reference repository, you should check out Spectrum’s GitHub repo. It’s organized well, uses good practices, and given that it is the entire Spectrum product, can provide a lot of system design and architecture insight.

You have now started on your first React Native app in Expo. This is the same tool which is used for creating apps like Facebook, Instagram, Coinbase, shopify, Tesla, Uber Eats and many more. You can read more on Expo here: https://docs.expo.dev/ or check out an open source app here: https://github.com/withspectrum/spectrum and checkout an enterprise boilerplate here: https://github.com/infinitered/ignite

GraphCDN passes subscriptions through to your origin, so they keep working just as they did before! I personally used GraphQL subscriptions with relative success at Spectrum and I'm very excited about live queries nowadays.

We were using Slate at Spectrum[0] back in 2017/2018, eventually switched to DraftJS due to cross-browser issues but that was honestly equally frustrating to use and support across many browsers.

In hindsight, we should've just had a GitHub-style markdown editor: https://mxstbr.com/thoughts/tech-choice-regrets-at-spectrum

It sounds like the situation has improved since then! I'll definitely try Tiptap if I ever need to build another RTE.

I was lucky enough that I somehow stumbled upon withspectrum/spectrum repo and found out that there actually are great applications running on the internet, under load and are dutifully maintained while being open-source! Spectrum has been back then one of the most eye-opening experiences for me as a junior developer. Although I didn't actually ever got to build a system like that, it taught me a great deal on how such app operates and how can various libraries be used.

Special thanks to the Spectrum Project (Here) for laying the foundations to Bulletproof Express. Also, many thanks to Node.js Best Practices (Here) and Bulletproof React (Here) for providing guidance on how Enterprise-Level Software should be written.

During last few years i managed to stumble upon a few repositories with large apps that have been a great learning source and an inspiration (such as https://github.com/withspectrum/spectrum) but these are few and far apart.

I am using expo setup with tabs template.

Before we begin working on our project, we must set it up and install all the necessary dependencies. We will be using Expo for this project. Expo is a React Native management tool that handles a lot of heavy stuff for us, such as efficiently compiling code and assets, as well as provides us with a productive development environment. Also we will be using Typescript for this project, but don't worry, the process is practically identical to Javascript, so if you don't know Typescript that's fine. This article assumes some basic understanding of React and React Native , such as components, hooks and state. You must also have Node.js installed on your computer.

Expo saves us from the complex configurations required to create a native application with the React Native CLI, making it the easiest and fastest way to build and publish React Native apps.

- Try to unblock usage of Google Maps in my ReactNative Android, iOS and Web App. Context: "https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/23347#issuecomment-16264...

- Provide financial report to investors (this will likely take at least two blocks)

- Fix initial Zoom setting for Google Maps in my app for web. Context: https://github.com/teovillanueva/react-native-web-maps/issue...

- Check on analytics + user enqueries and write (back) to at least 3 of our most active users in the last couple of days

Timeblock exhausted. Posting this and jumping on first task from above.

But some bugs don't get fixed for years. E.g. there was an issue with expo-secure-store not working well on android after app reinstallatiins. It apparently got fixed now 5 years after it was reported: expo-secure-store bug
