What have you built with RN?

What problems did we/you face?

Building the UI 

Had to write small components over and over again for each project, the reason we built NativeBase

 

State management

  • React Native probably didn't predict the use of state management
  • We tried Flux, Reflux, Redux and what not! Finally, settled for Redux (mostly) and MobX (at times)

 

What & Why

  • Management of the state of one or more user interface controls such as text fields, OK buttons, radio buttons, etc.
  • As the requirements for JavaScript single-page applications have become increasingly complicated, our code must manage more state than ever before

The Issue

Which IDE do you prefer? Do you lint?

We loved Sublime, we still do.

But Atom with Nuclide is a match made in heaven!

Do you follow a certain structure?

Been a struggle for us, which is why we are building a service based architecture on top of RN
