πŸš€ Galactic News: Local-First, Drizzle SQLite and Expo Live

Published almost 2 years agoΒ β€’Β 1 min read

Hey Reader,

Offline-First is a topic every React Native developer has on the bingo card of 2024 - and now I've created a practical tutorial in combination with PowerSync and Supabase!

Behind the scenes I'm wrapping up the new styling course, started work on another big clone (Trello πŸ‘€) and think about new projects for our Launch Pad πŸš€

If there is anything you want to see in a course or project, hit reply and let me know. I'm always just an email away πŸ‘‹

Happy Coding,
Simon✌️

✨ Building a Local-First React Native App

Transform your React Native application into a faster, local-first app using PowerSync. I'll walk you through all the steps from using a Postgres database with Supabase to setting up PowerSync for offline-first access within your React Native app.

πŸ’« Nebula Notes

  1. ​Expo SDK 51: New Architecture, Router 3.5 (Livestream)
    Expo is having a livestream on all the recent announcements and updates, so tune in to stay current.
  2. ​How Belka built the MangaYo! app in just 3 months with Expo (Article)
    I love a good case analysis, and how other companies have built apps with React Native is one of my favorite topics!
  3. ​Drizzle Studio for Expo SQLite (Repository)
    It's great to see modern tools like Drizzle offer React Native support, and now they also work on a dev tool plugin - keep an πŸ‘€ on this.
  4. ​React Native Security Guide (Guide)
    There is a lot to be said about security in React Native apps, but this simple guide is a great starting point and something to remember.

Hey Reader - Simon here πŸ‘‹ Everyone seems to have an opinion about AI and coding right now. Some say it’s making developers worse.Others say you just need to fully embrace it. After spending the last months building apps and even a game mostly with AI, I think both sides are missing something. πŸŽ₯ New Video: Does AI make Developers dumb? I’ve been using AI heavily in my workflow - not just for small tasks, but to actually build real apps and systems. And at some point I noticed something: I...

Hey Reader - Simon here πŸ‘‹ Last week I spent some time building something slightly different: a Fire TV app with React Native. Not a mobile app.Not a web app. An actual TV app. It’s funny because React Native has been around for so many years, but most developers still think of it only as a mobile framework. Turns out the ecosystem has expanded quite a bit! πŸŽ₯ New Video: I Built a Fire TV App with React Native using Vega OS This week I tried something new: building a Fire TV app using React...

Hey Reader - Simon here πŸ‘‹ AI app building tools suck, right? That was my assumption until a couple of weeks ago. But things are changing so fast in software dev right now that opinions from three months ago already feel outdated. So with (still) my old mindset, I approached a new tool. πŸŽ₯ New Video: This AI Builds Full Apps… Should You Use It? This week I tested Orchids, an AI-powered tool that takes a different approach. Instead of forcing you into a new stack or subscription, it lets you use...
