🚀 Galactic News: Todoist Clone, Legend List & Radon IDE


Hey Reader,

this week I got a pre-holiday gift for you in form of a 5 hour long Todoist clone tutorial 🎁

Especially the UI components and flow make this clone one of my favorites - let me know what you think about it and leave a comment!

Speaking of UIs, as I'm working on a new app, I actually found a way to achieve drag&drop with multiple lists.

LMK if you want to see a tutorial about this!

Finally, there's a new practical Galaxies.dev project on building Apps with TanStack, Zustand and Animations in which you'll learn to build a simple shopping app with state management.

Alright, enough for one week - enjoy the pre-holiday time and create some great React Native apps!

Happy Coding,
Simon✌️
