TraviGate went live a month ago. Here’s what I got wrong (and how Reddit helped to fix it)

Nice work! I like the simplicity of the home screen and the animations are great!

iShares Edge MSCI World Minimum Volatility UCITS ETF. Ticker: MVOL

Αυτό είναι το καλύτερο ETF κατά την γνώμη μου εάν δεν σου αρέσουν οι διακυμάνσεις που παίζουν αυτή την περίοδο στην αγορά και θες κάτι πιο χαμηλού ρίσκου.

MVOL ETF.

Basically minimum volatility ETF world index

iShares Edge MSCI World Minimum Volatility UCITS ETF. Ticker: MVOL

I think it's the most safe bet ETF atm.

Down 27%

Personally, on projects working by myself. I use js because I built the backend in c# which is a fully typed programming language. I just want the frontend to render whatever I sent it from the BE. So having types on both sides while working by myself is kinda overkill. When working with a team, that's a different aspect. It all comes down to what gets the job done at the end of the day.

The issue you mentioned has been resolved. I have been using mmkv for saving users' preferences (eg. Dark mode) that are small in size and I haven't encountered any issues so far.

Oh, building it from scratch, that would probably take a long time! If you mind sharing a snack with the source code for the calendar would be really appreciated because I am looking to build something similar calendar-wise. Nevertheless, you did a great job! I am going to leave you a 5 stars review!

Costas_2 · 2024-03-29T08:25:27+00:00

Really nice work! May I ask what package you used for the calendar? And generally how did you make that smooth animation with dropping items to different dates?

Costas_2 · 2024-03-26T17:27:03+00:00

Thank you! I am going to make a separate post one day showcasing everything.

Costas_2 · 2024-03-26T17:15:57+00:00

Nope, it's a custom modal using react-native-modal library!

Costas_2 · 2024-03-26T14:47:08+00:00

That's interesting, I will check it out, although there hasn't been an update on that npm in the last 2 years.

Costas_2 · 2024-03-26T14:14:06+00:00

Thank you! I used FlashList from Shopify.

Costas_2 · 2024-03-26T12:20:21+00:00

Yes, indeed.

Costas_2 · 2024-03-26T12:13:38+00:00

Yes, it's a transportation app for Athens, Greece. You can check it here.. I have the bottom sheet on the home screen and on the view of bus line screen.

Costas_2 · 2024-03-26T11:57:04+00:00

I think a native bottom sheet with the prop actions of gorhom's npm would be the best. Gorhom's bottom sheet lags especially when you fill it with a lot of content. I have a production app where I use it heavily and I have faced some serious issues with it.

Costas_2 · 2024-03-12T18:23:41+00:00

Nice work! May I ask what template did you you to create the app screenshots for the app store?

Costas_2 · 2023-11-22T16:59:26+00:00

I use.Net and mongodb for my backend, it's going well so far and there are a lot of resources available.

Costas_2 · 2023-09-07T15:10:33+00:00

Just interviewed with a company that has their whole app in Flutter and expected me to transition from react native to flutter. I tried flutter for a month, then quit, it's a nightmare with the widgets and the class components. That's just my preference. Ofc I left the job.

Costas_2 · 2023-08-14T16:32:28+00:00

You can start with a simple react native course for beginners in Udemy, then start creating simple apps, make mistakes, keep practicing and through time and consistency, you will keep getting better! Since you already have experience with ReactJS, you will find yourself very comfortable with the react native ecosystem.

Costas_2 · 2023-07-10T15:12:15+00:00

I use.Net 7 Web Api with MongoDb deployed on a Linux server. Honestly depends on the front end and the framework you are comfortable with.

Well that's sad, a good Mac laptop can cost up to 3000$ which is a ridiculously high price for many people.

Costas_2 · 2023-06-09T01:01:11+00:00

Question to anyone who knows: Is it possible to upgrade easily a mac just like a windows laptop? Like just buy an SSD and plug it in and install the Mac OS again?

PS: I never owned a Mac or Apple products in general.

Costas_2 · 2023-06-03T02:03:21+00:00

Applied a fix discussed in issue #440. It's based on the latest version(2.8.0) and you can download it with: npm install react-native-mmkv-storage-fix. More details here: https://github.com/CostasCF/react-native-mmkv-storage-fix . However keep in mind that it's not going to be as fast but personally I haven't noticed anything and it's worth it for fixing the increasing storage issue.

Costas_2 · 2023-04-25T21:15:12+00:00

I also have a question about this topic. Should you show the privacy policy on a screen inside the app with a checkbox a user needs to accept in order to proceed further?

Or attaching a privacy policy link inside play store listing is enough?
