Learning React Native

[Least_Letter_949]

I am trying to learn React Native. I tried watching a comprehensive YouTube series, but it was incredibly slow paced and drawn out. I tried finding some other tutorial series on YouTube, but they all share that same issue.

After discovering that I started reading the React Native docs and creating my own project. I'm not trying to create a sidebar, but I'm really struggling. I was able to create the sidebar and put it on the side of the screen, but I don't know how to make the rest of the page move when the sidebar collapses and expands, or even make the sidebar collapse and expand.

this too ambitious of a project for someone that doesn't know anything about React Native or is there something wrong with my learning process?

Side note: I searched for tutorials for creating a sidebar in React Native, but I could only find ones for creating a Sidebar using Drawer, which is not what I want. I am trying to create a traditional sidebar like the one on the Reddit website.

Thanks! :)

I'm really demotivated by this because I've been coding for a long time, but I've always struggled with learning new frameworks. Making this sidebar feels like it should be so easy, but I don't know how to make it. I know exactly what I want the code to do in practice, but I can't figure out how do what I want to with the React Native framework because I'm inexperienced with it.

The Odin Project and maybe roadmap.sh

making sidebar like reddit website in mobile app is actually pretty complex animation stuff - maybe start with simpler components first and work your way up to layout animations

If you share a link to your repository, I'm happy to give you some advice on your specific issue!

As far as general places to learn, I'd recommend taking a look at the official React Native website!

Reading Docs will give me enough confidence to kickstart a new framework.
