starter VS turbo-android

I've been enjoying developing on top of PostGraphile. https://www.graphile.org/

Good starter: https://github.com/graphile/starter

I can add a column the the db, and my frontend gets that autimagically (in dev mode, it generates a graphql schema out of the db, and from that it creates composables for my frontend wiht graphql-codegen). On the frontend I use Vue 3, the starter is build with nextjs/react.

I learned so much about postgresql and RLS from postgraphile starter project: https://github.com/graphile/starter/blob/main/%40app/db/migr...

also the project is worth checking out ;)

I'm a fairly seasoned developer, but I've started contributing to a project (graphile-starter) where the core business logic is defined in PL/pgSQL functions and realized I have a lot to learn.

Someone called it: "hasura for adults”

It's highly customisable, works directly with postgresql row levels security and the performance is quite good. It has a custom GraphiQL gui to work on queries/mutations.

To really see how it all works together checkout the starter project: https://github.com/graphile/starter it has migrations, job queue, graphql-codegen etc.

Benjie (https://github.com/benjie) is one of the greatest maintainers I've ever seen!

Here’s a full stack, batteries included example: https://github.com/graphile/starter it doesn’t have mobile app yet but could be added relatively easily.

Postgraphile starter uses most of the same tech and has all the same functionality as far as I can tell, with the additional benefit of Postgraphile generating your GraphQL schema and resolvers instead of worrying them manually.

Depending on how complex the frontend is, consider having the frontend in Rails as well with Hotwire. You can use the official Android and iOS repos for mobile or go for something like https://expo.dev/

For the mobile side, start with each platform's respective Turbo package: https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-ios and https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-android. Each has a demo app you can run in XCode/Android studio. To get a basic app building, follow each one's "Getting Started" guide. It's actually pretty easy to get a basic native app building, the hard part comes in integrating native components and services, as well as release management.

turbo-ios and turbo-android are the shell/wrapper apps handling native navigation, written for native iOS and Android. They are provided for you, and works out-of-the-box, but you risk having to fiddle with iOS and Android development for maintenance/debugging later on.

Ruby on Rails, Hotwire, Postgres, Redis

Does anyone have experience with https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-ios or https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-android ?

turbo-ios and turbo-android are small wrappers around your web views. You write native Swift and Kotlin wrappers but the frameworks display your web content. They also handle navigation and data transmission between the views and native code.

> I’d strongly consider this for a web-only product, but that’s becoming more and more rare.

They have accompanying https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-ios and https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-android projects to bridge the gap.
