What were your negative experiences with Apollo? Been using it for a year and haven't had any issues.

I started with apollo-client on a new app, but switched to using ngrx and turning off apollo-client caching (basically using apollo-client as a fancy graphql request library - I should probably just use apollo-link directly). My main problem was that it felt like it required both developers and components to have too much knowledge of the individual queries that the app was making. Instead of writing an app that happ…

I can see where updating the cache in all the right places for complex architectures could get hairy. For my own personal project, I'm using GraphQL Subscriptions to listen for mutations and piping those events directly to the client, which then updates the cache accordingly. I get that's not a solution for everyone as it would largely depend on your backend architecture having support for subscriptions.

Hi Atef. Nicely done. Good screen designs.

I'll check out your code soonest. And I'll try to dig up an android device, so I can try your demo.

I just wanted to acknowledge your effort and good taste, since everyone else got distracted by the framework wars.

Without revealing too much about me, since this is my anon account, I work in a nearby field. If you wanted to pursue this domain (fashion), I encourage you to focus on product discovery. Either something novel, or excellent execution and refinement of current solutions.

I don't mean personalization, recommenders. (Unless you have something awesome.)

Rather, I mean UX for better forraging behavior. By analogy, the digital equivalent of wandering around in libraries, museum, or retail. Whatever that looks like.

Happy hunting.

I love exploring structure and approach in codebases written recently, it’s one of the best ways to learn a new language or mentally refresh on what new libraries and tools exist. Anyone know of good resources or proper search terms for “show me fully executed applications built on X language/stack within the past year”

I've found realworld.io is pretty good for working examples of different stacks. Maybe not as up to date as you're looking for, but a good start for new languages and frameworks.

This is exactly what I couldn’t find. Thank you!

But the web runs on all of those platforms, and there are a ton of ways to wrap a browser view into a native "wrapper" to put in the app store (including react native)

Right, but web looks like web even if you wrap it. RN is supposed to feel like an Android or Iphone app. (Btw, someone prove me wrong because I have a full blown working website/database and the front end is RN and I'd love to stop because I hate front end auth and multiple platform...)

Onsen UI could maybe tackle that (I'm working with it) - gives you material or Cupertino look on the fly. Still caveats with Cordova vs Native but it's alot less work...
