You might find this recent blog post from the React Native team informative, about their long-term vision for multi-platform support: https://reactnative.dev/blog/2021/08/26/many-p…

This isn't really accurate. Presuming you're using react-native-web [1] (the most popular version of RN targeting the web, although there are others), it's essentially just a set o…

Ah I see. That can be achieved since Flow 0.51 with opaque types[1][2]. It seems like TypeScript hasn't yet caught up with this functionality[3]. [1] https://medium.com/flow-type/h…

Yeah I realise you'd never reach the same level of soundness due to the limitations of the underlying JS (although presumably you could get close with a subset?). But that's why it…

Something which I think could be helpful for the overall ecosystem, and allow both type systems to coexist and thrive, would be more attention put into tools which transpile code a…

So, I was one of (or I suppose the only...) person in the linked issue arguing that competition is useful, and that it makes sense for Facebook's products to be tied into the same …

This is currently a stage 1 proposal for the core language: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-optional-chaining Depending on your stack it might be possible to make use of it alread…

As Dan said when closing that issue, this seems to me how I would expect rendering in React to work... it's async by nature. If you need the component's state/props to be a certain…

Why use componentWillMount and not componentDidMount? From the docs: > componentWillMount() is invoked immediately before mounting occurs. It is called before render(), therefore s…

> Option 1: Use a string or null/false data [...] If you're using a type checker like #flow, it will yell at you and for a good reason: data type changes are hard to reason about a…

I'd highly recommend using a type system like Flow to enumerate the shape of possible actions the store should support. This brings numerous advantages: 1. You can use strings for …

Maybe what some people are looking for in a replacement, this is something I put together: https://nachapp.com It isn't multi-user, but does introduce features around tying tasks t…

Something this article glosses over is that JavaScript achieved all the benefits of ES6, ES7, gradual typing, etc, without breaking backwards compatibility. I can still pull in a l…

React Native is primarily aimed at writing cross-platform UI code. When it comes to performance critical code, or integrating heavily with native UIs (eg the media streaming abilit…

Nope, sorry, I'm fully focused on the SaaS model. If it helps at all, I've tried to remove as many concerns as I can associated with storing these kind of things in something cloud…

Thanks! Not at the moment. It would be nice to one day, but given that I'm bootstrapping, the rate of growth is quite slow, and I don't think it's reached the scale yet where it wo…
