I tried this about a year ago, and I initially couldn't figure out how to get the laptop screen to turn off when I closed the laptop. After I figured that out, then I couldn't figure out how to get it to turn on after I opened the

I've had a React Native based fitness tracking app live in both stores for over a year now. If I had to do it over again, I would still choose React Native. It's made the whole cross-platform development process incredibly simple,

I switched from AWS to Google Cloud a few years ago, and I haven't looked back. None of these issues have happened to me, and they've provided the same services at significantly cheaper. Sorry for your troubles -- I hope you get t

Despite the occasional disadvantage of buying over renting, I always prefer to buy. Renting makes me question the extent to which I can use something, and it makes me fear the consequences of breaking it. Rather than investigate and remembe

I've found pair coding very effective in knowledge transfer for large code bases. It's hit or miss, since it requires certain combinations of personality types, but if you can get this running effectively it can communicate many m

When "run-android" fails to boot, I usually start by checking the device simulator logs. If nothing shows up quickly, I switch to a different library. I know that's a cop out, but I have very little patience for issues like t

I do not currently use a call to action within the app, but that's a good idea. I'll try it out. Thanks!

1) I did not write any native code. 2) I use quite a few plugins containing native code. Older versions of react-native didn't handle this well, which required manually setting up linking for Android and iOS. This was painful. Thankful

I have had a production application live for almost a year that uses React Native. It has been a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend using it. So far zero crashes have been logged, no performance issues reported, and it has quite a

It has been about 9 months without making any money. The app also doesn't have a monetization strategy yet (focusing on making an awesome product first), so that makes sense. There has been a large uptick in organic traffic recently (w

Definitely. It should be available in Germany (iOS and Android) in a couple hours, after the store listing updates.

This project began just over a year ago on the side as a mobile workout log tailored to my exact needs (which are very minimalist). Since then, maintaining the app has allowed me to learn a bit about marketing, support, user feedback, and t

I released a mobile application about ten months ago. By far, I've gotten the best feedback through the feedback feature I built into the app. It's a simple dropdown menu, accessible from any screen, that allows the user to send f

My own app! Responding to user feedback and hearing from people who like it reminds me that I've helped at least one person. It provides just enough sanity.

Yes, absolutely. Due to the large number of side projects I've worked on over the years, it's very important to me that I can put something down and pick it up again later. Unit tests allow me to do that. They drastically reduce t

The best code I've seen uses abstractions to decouple itself from the libraries and frameworks it uses. I don't see any references to libraries or frameworks within the codebase, except in thin layers at the outskirts. The worst c

As a sole developer who recently released my first mobile app, I can't comment on your specific use case or generalize about the market as a whole, since I don't have significant experience. That said, I chose to use React Native

As a junior developer, I overvalued minimizing development time and maximizing correctness. It turned out that writing code for other people to read and modify was a more difficult skill to improve, was more rewarding when successful, and e
