A great alternative to websockets. If you want to make your app live e.g. real time tracking, messaging, live updates and want to do it quickly, you will like it.

It's for those who want to get something working right away and don't mind paying for it.

Aaand there is also firebase if anything.

Real time open source db

Quite correctly this got pointed out in our chat as of high relation to the previous post

Which is great and you should always follow this approach. Saw a post here, think there is smth better or simply a nice alternative? Go in our chat and let people know. We don't bite.

Oh wow. That's just some new level annoyance.

You probably know that I keep recommending learning things for free online, but I also say if you are sure it's valuable - don't hesitate to award the person behind it.

For me personally, my 2 legends in some of the frontend / fullstack learning that I came across are

Netninja and rwieruch

And I did share both of their free content in this channel previously.

My logic on this is simple - I know what to expect, I used their free material and liked it, sometimes with what I learned from them helps me in my daily job that I'm being paid for and as a thank you I am happy to buy something from them (although I know I could find for free)

This is just a small note that rwieruch has a discount currently and I thought I'll have a look at his "The Road to GraphQL", should be fun.

If you decide to get one, the code that worked for me with 40% off was BF2020

PS this is not a promotion, this is kudos to the guy 🔥 you can find his website yourself

Plans for the weekend

Turns out with my current Internet connection there is no need to buy PS5 or gaming PC as Stadia can handle it (just gave it a try)

Oh well

Same for Google meets. Man up, Google

Yeah.. So.

Let's blame pokemon go, it's sus 😂

Funny if this would have been a server overload due to people playing cyberpunk on stadia

The whole story of JavaScript from 1996.

​​Game dev from inside out

As we are approaching the end of 2020 (and hoping that 2021 will be a bit easier on us 😂), I can only recommend to those who are looking to have some interesting read there is a really cool series of building Crash Bandicoot from Andy Gavin (lead developer and designer of the game)

It's pretty long, but extremely interesting.

I'm gonna just quote our CTO here (a really bright individual) regarding those articles:

"This series is the primary reason why I do all this"

Spreadsheet on steroids

Heard of airtable? If you can use github, you might as well get this whole thing for free.

Just found of https://firetable.io/

Pretty much the same thing build on firebase (you know it mostly free unless you have thousands of users)

Don't thank me (I know you wouldn't 😂)

Yet another toast 🥪

Looks neat

Hooks

Thanks god they came in. I'm one of those people who always like to break components apart to make it reusable and small.

Quite often I noticed that functional components still want some state to be togglable. This used to be a pain as you either have to transform to class or play football with passing stuff from and to child / parent components.

And now it's all about

const Child = ({prop1, prop2}) => {
//useEffect

return smth
}

As a benefit setLoading(false) is much more concise than
this.setState({ isLoading: false})
