  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • flipper

    A desktop debugging platform for mobile developers.

    Flipper has been badly implemented in the react-native seed project IMO, in that flipper is included in iOS release builds, last time I checked. See https://github.com/facebook/flipper/issues/1275

  • react-native-debugger

    The standalone app based on official debugger of React Native, and includes React Inspector / Redux DevTools

    - I don't want it in my ios release build (maybe I'm doing something wrong?) - It takes forever to build! I reduce my CI build times by almost half by disabling flipper - I don't use it. I use https://github.com/jhen0409/react-native-debugger but tbh i haven't done a bunch of debugging.
