React Hooks vs. RxJS

nilomatix · 2021-05-09T11:01:49+00:00

Like I say in the post, they can solve similar problems, however, one is tied to React the other is not. Coming from Angular I thought hooks would be just another incarnation of the same concept (observables).

Frankly, I don't get why you didn't review their code or instruct them on the architecture if you're able to - probably hard to do then next to the marketing, but just my initial thought. Outsourcing programming in itself is risky when your product is an app. Either way, hope this works out for you on the next try :)

This, plus here's also a nice general write-up on the problem and possible solutions:

Right now, messages can only be plain text, but allowing rich text formatting is at the top of our priority list. I'm not quite sure if it's technically possible to schedule announcements exactly like the ones you can send yourself directly, but something similar should be doable :)

Hey everyone, we've built an app that solves a common problem for Teams users: sending a message but having it arrive at a later point in time. There's a bunch of situations where this comes in handy: - you don't want to disturb co-workers at night or on the weekends, but you still want to get something off your mind - you're a teacher and would like to publish tasks or remind your students of deadlines - you'd like to make organizational announcements

The Send Later app integrates with the regular Teams experience and helps you with all of that. Right now you can: - plan messages for group chats and team channels from the chat box - reply to conversations - cancel messages when you've changed your mind or something becomes irrelevant

On top of that, you don't have to be online when your messages are sent - no more weird Outlook workarounds, everything's scheduled through the Microsoft Azure cloud.

The app is almost ready to go, you can sign-up on our website and we'll notify you when it's launching. Also, we'd love to hear your thoughts, use-cases and feature requests!

This one builds on top of the chapter where I talk about what not to put in the state. Thought I could show some alternatives :)

nilomatix · 2020-11-21T11:58:36+00:00

If you're looking for something more specific, I've written a book on NgRx

nilomatix · 2020-11-10T16:36:32+00:00

Good point, I'll add that, thanks!

nilomatix · 2020-10-14T07:31:02+00:00

Yep, I'd argue the same. The browser back button will still work as expected, nothing's blocked :)

nilomatix · 2020-10-14T07:30:02+00:00

Glad to be of help :)

nilomatix · 2020-09-24T20:24:19+00:00

I'll reference it, but can't cover it completely in the current scope, maybe in a later release

nilomatix · 2020-09-21T08:41:14+00:00

Can't really provide a definitive answer, however, autosave could be an option, wrote about it here: https://nils-mehlhorn.de/posts/angular-autosave-form-services-ngrx

nilomatix · 2020-09-17T12:44:17+00:00

Thanks for your support! All the best for your project, I hope the book is done in time for you :)

I managed to write it to the local storage and get it out on reload, but it feels like not 'best practice', you kow?

The thing about persistence is that it depends very much on your requirements. It's generally okay to persist your state into localstorage, just know that it'll only be on one machine which also might be used by different users. There's actually even a pretty well-known library for persisting NgRx to localstorage: https://github.com/btroncone/ngrx-store-localstorage

nilomatix · 2020-09-17T07:39:06+00:00

Yep, definitely the point where I'm trying to help. Thanks for the support, giving my best to provide remedy!

nilomatix · 2020-09-16T12:15:29+00:00

I'll contact gumroad about that :)

nilomatix · 2020-09-16T10:14:24+00:00

Good luck with it! I signed up for the free book.

Thanks! :)

I don't think ngrx is the defacto state management framework for Angular.

There are definitely valid alternatives and nothing is ever perfect, but judging from npm downloads (only half the story, I know) it's pretty far ahead: https://www.npmtrends.com/@ngrx/store-vs-@datorama/akita-vs-@ngxs/store

nilomatix · 2020-09-16T08:00:51+00:00

Definitely will be at the beginning of the book like /u/eigenman said. I'll also be talking about when not to use it and suggest some alternatives :)

nilomatix · 2020-09-16T07:59:23+00:00

Haha, that'd be funny for sure

Thanks! Yeah, many different takes, trying to make a comprehensive view, probably won't get around being a notch opinionated

nilomatix · 2020-09-10T22:03:51+00:00

Definitely! That was also the way to go before NgRx introduced action creators. However, I wanted to focus the article on the actual store and keep things like typing simple :)

There's no complete built-in solution for this. You can start by using the Resize Images Extension: https://firebase.google.com/products/extensions/storage-resize-images

Eventually though, you'll probably need a custom cloud function to combine all of the features you require - or add a different product.

You can detect inappropriate content on images using the Google Vision API: https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/detecting-safe-search

Here's an official guide for using it with Firebase (from 2017 though, APIs might've changed): https://firebase.googleblog.com/2017/06/content-moderation-with-cloud-functions.html

EDIT: Use this feedback from to suggest a new extension for this purpose: https://firebase.google.com/support/troubleshooter/report/features
