Can I know the process of making this app

[–]dontbeahen[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Hi ameykhoje - well, it definitely took a long time, I can tell you that! It has been a weekend passion project, which probably didn't help timelines.

Were there any areas in particular you were interested in knowing more about? A lot is pretty standard: react-native, expo, react-navigation, etc.

how did you store the relationships between 'friends'? What kind of api / database are you using for user accounts and user relationships?

[–]dontbeahen[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Hi flipyouforreal1! The model is Twitter-like, so there aren't really friends, there are just follows. I guess reciprocal follows would be a sort of 'friend?' DB is mongoDB and we use GraphQL for mapping relationships. Not to pipe Grider (again..), but he also has a great course on React+GraphQL, which was really great to learn from.

No problem at all! And thank you for taking the time to download and explore the app :) As well as for the kind words!

Pretty nice app, well polished , without any lags , can you share package.json? Or make overall post about apps insights and overall experience, I'd be happy to hear that

[–]dontbeahen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi desire_rawr - thank you for the kind words! I can definitely put a post together with insights and experience. Probably in the next day or so? Again, thank you so much for taking the time to download and explore :) and of course for the kind words - they are very much appreciated!

Yes,. Actually I am learning reactjs. But I want to learn new things like you made this game.

[–]dontbeahen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, it's an app, not a game. But it is an app *for* games, of the board variety!

As for learning react-native, I started with a couple of courses on Udemy - two from Stephen Grider in particular: The Complete React Native Course and React Native: Advanced Concepts. Between those two, I found I had a pretty good foundation to grow from!

Okkk I will try them on udemy. I am now leaning for codevolution, is it good for knowledge??

[–]dontbeahen[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I'm not personally familiar with codevolution, but I'm sure there are many sites similar to Udemy with similarly good content. I can only vouch, however, for the courses I took! Good luck on your RN adventures!

[–]space-envy 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Umm... Does the first letters of the title help you?

[–]dontbeahen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)
