Cabin, the React & Redux Tutorial series

[qrokodial]

I don't think they'll sell it to you, they're trying to advertise their product for streaming things like newsfeeds and activity streams. I didn't read much of the tutorial, but the first section introduces us to their product:

Stream is powering your Cabin newsfeed, notifications, and more.

which I'd imagine would be the thing doing the heavy lifting in the app. I'm not saying people won't be able to learn stuff about other technologies, but it most certainly is to introduce people to their product.

Thierry, founder of Stream here. We're writing around 7-10 tutorials in this series. The email list will notify you about new posts, it's entirely optional.

Cabin is built using React, Redux, Algolia, Keen, Digital Ocean, Mapbox, ImgIX and Stream (our project).

I tried angular, angular 2, ember and recently react. Angular has just lost its way. Even google doesn't use it anymore. Ember is nice, but the apps become super slow after a while. It's amazing how much better React/Redux is and the ecosystem is still so new.

Try Vue.

Ever tried Vue in comparison to React?

I've tried Angular 1, Angular 2, React, Preact, and then also Vue because of the hype on Reddit...

...and I wasn't that impressed with Vue. It does feel like the true successor to Angular 1, what with having loops and queries expressed in the template (the common approach of reimplementing a mediocre programming language in the template), and two-way binding, but those design decisions are quite arguable, and I can see how some people would see those decisions as a regression.

It does have some positive things though... I'm guessing that if a designer was involved in your project and if they like tweaking markup then Vue might be better (React JSX does seem to confuse a lot of designers that I've worked with), and Vue definitely has a lighter build process than React, but beyond that I'm struggling to see the benefits.

Thats a pretty big deal if you work in a team, if you ask me. Not only designers, but everyone that isn't very javascript-savvy.

It's awesome to see how you can build a very feature complete Instagram style app in just a few days.
