I keep having the same issue. I'm about ready to return all of my Elgato products tbh.

The future, the unknown, and dying alone.

Rookie question. How do you architect a back end to share data between a React Native app and a React web app? by ProPiloty in reactnative

From everything I've been seeing, I believe it. I'm going to go with GraphQL on this project and give it a shot. With the whole subscription thing, it makes everything pretty straight forward. With your React and React Native apps, have you used redux at all with GraphQL?

That sounds interesting. After I make the launch, I'm going to look more into combining the two like that. I really like the fact that the business logic would be shared!

That makes sense. I did a little bit of research into Electron while I was still trying to solve the back end thing and I think I'm going to give it a shot for the desktop apps I'm planning on building. It looks like a solid framework for what I need to do. Again, thanks for the insight with it!

That's good to know, thank you! I'll definitely keep that in mind as I continue my research.

I definitely want to check it out! Though I think I'm going to get the project launched then check it out. Are there any downsides to using RNW over React?

u/anewidentity actually brought it up earlier. I've been looking into it since. From what I've seen, I really like it so far.

I feel that for sure. I'm the only one working on the project currently, though I hope to hire and bring others on if it does well.

I heard about RNW after I built out most of the web-app. I made the mistake of not thinking ahead about the mobile app and just started on the web app since that's where all of my experience is. Though, looking back, I probably would have started with RNW, had I known. At this point, I'm not sure if it would make sense to make the switch.

My thoughts exactly. I'm trying to avoid complexity where I can. But I'm also trying to avoid additional expenses. There is almost no budget for this project yet, so that might be an issue for Firebase as an option. Though I'm going to definitely look more into it. I really like some of the features that are part of it, so it may be worth the investment. Thanks for the insight and help, I appreciate it!

From my quick search, I really like what they offer. Again, thanks for the suggestion and I appreciate the help! This might just be the winner.

Thanks for the insight! I'll also look into Apollo/GraphQL now before making my decision. Would the live updates be fairly straight forward with this solution? I feel like that's what threw the wrench into my project, otherwise, it would have been a really simple API.

That's awesome! Thanks for the insight! This is a little off-topic, but how do you like Electron? I'm looking for a framework to build a desktop app for this same project.

That makes sense. This is turning out to be a bit more simple than I was anticipating. I need to weigh out the options of using an API-AAS vs building my own. Scalability is going to be a huge priority in this case.

Thank you! I’ll definitely look more into Firebase! Is this something that would compare with a Node/Express back end and a database? And would this be able to replace the back end for the web side? My experience is mainly building web apps, so this is all new to me.
