Do you have any comments on video courses that go into depth on UI design? I'm a backend engineer and while most of RN makes sense to me, flex box and ui tend to throw me for a loop.
I should probably just find some flex box guides, as they'll likely cover most of it. Regardless, I figured it was worth asking you - since ui components with RN is my only trouble area currently.
- com2kid 9y agoFlex Box is similar to a ton of other layout systems, many of which I've either used or written in the past. I have no idea why Flex Box feels so complicated. The fundamental idea is incredibly simple. I can't offer much help, I've just spent (too many) hours fiddling with styles until I kinda get an understanding, I keep inching forward. Super irritating given how simple the idea is in every other framework I've used it in.
- notheguyouthink 9y agoI agree - it is simple, and I've taken courses/learnt it in the past, even. Yet, every time I go to apply it, I completely sit in puzzlement about my next action. I'm sure it simply has to do with practice. As a backend dev, I rarely touch frontend, so it's a mindset that I continually forget. Regardless, it's quite frustrating when I actually have to touch anything UI related. Sucks
