Move away from React Native?

Some insights from Airbnb why they are moving away from React Native (although they spent 2 years on it).

A few things to highlight right away:

If you are thinking React Native can help you build something cross platform quickly - you are right. You are also correct if you think performance, speed, flexbox and animation will work well if implemented correctly.

The problems, as Airbnb puts it were mainly related to JS being untyped language and RN being still quite immature - this caused big problems in refactoring, maintaining and crash monitoring as well as things like complex gestures in iOS/Android apps as both use quite different mechanics.

Well, there is always a tradeoff. From airbnb's experience, we can easily deduct that RN is still probably the best thing to do for MVP and which might even let your system live and work properly for a few years. But if you are planning to go all-in, native development is yet not fully interchangeable.

​​30 seconds of knowledge - amazing way to motivate you to learn coding properly. Tips, Tricks, you name it.

Every time you open a new tab in a browser it throws a short code snippet at you, which you should ideally understand within 30 sec (might take a little bit more)

Also a list of JS one-liners that might come in handy in your development 😉

Well, seems that our analytics from last year was defined quite right when we talk on React vs Angular vs Vue.

See below why.

Nothing to add🤷‍♂

⌛Time Machine

And also let's treat this post as an elevator to 24th April 2018 when I made a decision to create a channel to structure all the stuff that I found for myself. Who knew that so many people will find it useful and want to follow it.🤷‍♂

While we are quickly approaching 5k members, I think it is nice to note where we started.

You can click this time-machine link and it will get you almost a year back to find all the wonderful posts that were thrown in this channel🔥

Security sucks
#news #security

At least that what Facebook probably thinks as they manage to store passwords of their users as plain text in the database. You might be thinking its a joke, but its not April 1st yet, sorry.

No hashing or cryptography at all were applied to user's passwords and FB already admitted that their internal staff could see other people's passwords. Yet, they claimed that there were no signs of misuse of that (funny).

Morale is - don't do this, guys☝️

Well, 5k of us🍾
Not a joke luckily (or maybe it is).

⁠Interview tips

Thought to share some of the snippets I get and find useful on various topics including interviews.

Web lazy loading

Well, apparently this June we can see native image loading for the web. Magical usage just by adding loading = lazy in your <img> tag. What can be easier.

Half a million views on how to write better JS code. Impressive👍

Thanosjs.org - reduce the file size by randomly deleting half of the files. Might come handy before the endgame

If you like what Uber does in design and you think its neat - they released design system in a form of React Components called Base Web. Nice to see datepickers, file uploaders and toggle buttons in default set up.

Which default table component do you think is nicer?

A quick tip for you 👌

Framer Playground Introduced

I really like where Framer is heading with its concept, can see how UX/UI Design & Coding can work together efficiently. This can be considered a massive trend soon and all the Sketch, Invision, XD, Marvel, Figma will have to adjust and the designer's job will also include basic programming to optimise business operations.

Letting your developers argue, re-code the whole frontend, fix inaccuracies from the design is a massive pain point and someone will eventually solve it.

Hope to see Framer X Windows version soon to allow better expansion. Meanwhile, you can see what they a re going at here.

And yeah, I know with the amount I mentioned Framer, I should take money from them🤷‍♂️.

React Native for Windows

Well, we just got a way to write stuff for XBox with React🤷‍♂
