spectrum VS ignite

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.

You'll learn lot more without Expo. It makes things lot easier/faster but will give you problems later. I recommend you to start with cli, and if you want to avoid tedious tasks of setting up things, go ahead with Ignite or another boilerplate that has already all the basic libraries set up (react navigation, state, UI, etc.) so you just can begin with your project logic/code https://github.com/infinitered/ignite

You should check out the react native boilerplate by Ignite: https://github.com/infinitered/ignite

I recently picked up react native, though I had a good amount of experience with React already and much of it is similar. Except for working with the file system and tooling.

One good boilerplate I’d recommend having a look at is https://github.com/infinitered/ignite not a course but possibly a good resource to learn from.

I've been using the Ignite boilerplate (with Expo enabled) and I'm quite happy with it. It contains everything I need, nicely structured.
