Yet Another Newsletter LOL: Pi Day

I had some much deserved PTO last week, but I'm back and refreshed. With that, another week, another newsletter. Let's get to it!

Around the Web

  • Did you know that streaming HTML has been around for a long time? It's not just something coming out of JavaScript frameworks land. Check out Chris Coyier's post, Streaming HTML
  • Still feeling shaky about some git concepts? Chan has you covered. Git Fundamentals
  • One of the big news drops in frameworks land this week was Astro DB. What is it? How does it work? Ben Holmes has got you covered.

Proven React Native boilerplate

The culmination of over seven years of constant React Native development, Ignite is the most popular React Native app boilerplate for both Expo and bare React Native.

This is the React Native boilerplate that the Infinite Red team uses on a day-to-day basis to build client apps. Developers who use Ignite report that it saves them two to four weeks of time on average off the beginning of their React Native project!

Intro Videos

We've put great effort into the documentation as a team, please read through it here. If you're unsure why a certain decision was made related to this boilerplate or how to proceed with a particular feature, it's likely documented. If it still isn't…

That's a wrap! Until the next one.
