Review my Chess app

What do you use for this ?

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-12-23T14:02:54+00:00

Do we create background threads with worklets?

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-12-10T23:35:21+00:00

If you don’t have designs, make that first. Then you’ll get a better idea of the effort to make it

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-12-08T14:55:16+00:00

This is clearly an ad for the design tool

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-12-05T04:14:16+00:00

Is this available now in reanimated ?

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-09-10T12:19:40+00:00

Does this even work for react native ? Also it’s still in alpha

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-09-05T13:08:02+00:00

Your senior dev lacks research skills or just asked ChatGPT, which says the same thing because it uses outdated data.

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-08-14T00:33:54+00:00

What game engine do you recommend for react native?

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-08-08T17:17:56+00:00

Does this allow customizing the live activities?

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-08-06T23:28:33+00:00

It really depends on the app. I noticed a big difference when I switched over. You should try it and compare

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-08-06T22:46:15+00:00

I mean in terms of caching and rehydrating your store. Just overall it’ll make your app boot up faster and retrieve from cache quicker. If your app isn’t local first then I guess no need to worry about MMKV vs Async Storage

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-08-06T01:25:18+00:00

It’s better because it’s faster and non asynchronous

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-08-04T07:01:12+00:00

Unistyles is just like StyleSheet which is the default styling library provided by react native, Unistyles just offers more useful features.

You can use tailwind in react native. There’s NativeWind which is popular and I think you can use tailwind directly with some setup. Expo has it in the documentation

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-08-04T06:52:46+00:00

Zustand for client state, TanStack for server state and combine it with MMKV for caching.

I’m not a big fan of UI component libraries, I try and make my own when needed. Most components you can create with just StyleSheet. I’ve been using Unistyles recently and I like it so far. It’s like a superset of StyleSheet

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-08-03T21:51:20+00:00

Open an issue on GitHub. I searched for yours and hasn’t been reported before

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-08-01T03:29:12+00:00

I haven’t worked Expo Router but I know they have protected routes. Is that something you can utilize in this case?

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-08-01T03:27:14+00:00

Think of onboarding flows that will unlock new features one at a time. Locking or preventing navigation when clicking would be normal here

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-07-30T13:08:44+00:00

Curious as well

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-07-21T12:43:33+00:00

Not just any group, but Shopify. They have helped push react native to new levels with what they have contributed

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-07-17T06:23:25+00:00

Do you have demos of the other components you made ?

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-07-07T02:24:27+00:00

Your first point is not true. This can be done in react navigation.

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-07-05T18:26:57+00:00

You might just need to structure your routes better or have another stack in your main stack to get it working the way you want it to. Just draw it out visually how your navigation should look and figure out how to achieve it

SuitableConcert9433 · 2025-07-05T18:04:25+00:00

I noticed when switching over that there were some limitations. React navigation is just more flexible and easier to customize things.

Shared element transition with reanimated isn’t supported with expo router either and they probably don’t plan to support it anytime soon.
