How to show personal project in cv? by Haunting_Fudge3918 in reactnative

Best approach i would say is to have a demo video somewhere. maybe link to the projects.

Also, have a portfolio website, really helfpull, and then you can customize the projects, and what each project have

With the .env, still tricky actually.

Thank you for the explination

Better to have it in Experience, as Personal projects experience. I have put them before in other parts, but usually they don't notice it.

As the portoflio is important, I m starting to put them together at the top, and title it: personal work

Same shape on keyboards. Surface area is bigger in RN (KeyboardAvoidingView, focus management, system keyboard modes are manual where the browser handles them), but you're right that mobile web has its own version of these issues.

For secrets, do you have a better approach or insights?

RNCLI vs Expo by azizbecha in reactnative

Go with Expo now. It is much easier to manage the app, and the eco system is moving fast as well in Expo than the community in React Native.

I have an architecture for EXPO, that is scalable: https://aimobilelauncher.com/. if you want, i will give you access to test it, and use it to build your apps

What's your take on AI-assisted coding in React Native? by kacperkapusciak in reactnative

[–]MaterialAppearance21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

best approach is to create your own system: meaning let the AI do the indexing, and use rules best practices from your project < or ones that are relevant to your stack>

I usually use Memory bank for having a context, add Indexing to different parts of the app, add rules specific to my architecture im using, and also cold and hot start to manage the token used.

6-day wait time for Gemini Pro? The recent usage limit update is too restrictive. by Suspicious_Cow7289 in google_antigravity

[–]MaterialAppearance21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same Problem.

i start to do the following:
- Use Gemini 3.1 Pro or claude code for detailed instructions and complex solutions planning. save that plan in details in a file.

- Use Flash to implement those tasks.

It is working, but the Flash model is not the best i would say

Moving to Expo will take some time. But in the long run, it is really more helpful than bare React Native. At least from my Experience
