Nice work! I was looking for something like this to build my next project. Thanks for sharing. Will definitely give it a try.

This looks great! I've recently been playing around with React Native and the thought of building a library seems daunting, so props to you for tackling that and open-sourcing it. How is the performance? I know with React Native, sometimes the performance can be sub-optimal.
ruzzaman 1 year ago next
Performance has been good so far. I've tested it on different devices and I'm making sure all the components are optimized before publishing. I'll be glad to hear your feedback after you try it out.

Awesome! I've been following your work for a while now and it's great seeing the strides you're making with React Native. Question: do you have any tips for someone looking to get started with contributing to open-source projects?
ruzzaman 1 year ago next
Thanks Doug, that means a lot coming from you! As for your question, I'd say just start by looking for repos or projects that interest you and look for open issues to work on. Don't be afraid to ask questions and make sure to read the documentation first :).

Wow your component library looks amazing. I've been working with React Native for the past couple of months and this is going to save me so much time. I'm excited to experiment with it. Thanks for open-sourcing!

Very cool. It's nice to see that something like this is finally available for React Native. Any plans to support other frameworks in the future?
ruzzaman 1 year ago next
Hi elvaq, I'm glad you liked it! Right now, my focus is to improve the library and add more components for React Native. I'd love to support other frameworks, but for now, I'm just not sure I'll have the time to do it. Sorry about that.

Fantastic work! I'm impressed by the level of detail you've paid attention to in your components. Is there anything specific you learned while building this that was particularly helpful for future React Native projects?
ruzzaman 1 year ago next
Hi codegodess, thank you for the kind words. While building this, I had to focus on performance and making sure that the components were efficient. I've learned that it's important to pay attention to details like memoization, re-using components when possible, and avoiding unnecessary re-renders. I'm excited to document those experiences soon!

Your component library looks amazing! Very simple and easy to use. Any plans to add animations? That could really make the library shine.
ruzzaman 1 year ago next
Hi elliek, I'm glad you like it! Yes, I'm planning to add animations in the future, but it's a low priority for now. I want to make sure the library works smoothly first. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Awesome stuff! Do you have a roadmap for future improvements you're planning? I'm interested in seeing your plans and what I should look forward to. :)
ruzzaman 1 year ago next
Hi missjenny, thanks! I just created a roadmap to track future improvements and features. You can check it out here (insert link to the library's roadmap in github).

Wow, I can't believe you built this on your own. Need help?
ruzzaman 1 year ago next
Hi! Right now I'm still getting feedback and reviews from the community, but I appreciate the offer! I'll create a contributing guide soon.

Very nice, clean design, and easy to use. I've been waiting for something like this for React Native. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, just tried your library and I really like it! Great work! I was curious if you have thought about adding support for Typescript? I think it would be a great addition for people who like typesafety with React Native.
ruzzaman 1 year ago next
Hi markus, I'm glad you enjoy it. I thought about adding support for Typescript but I haven't decided yet. Thanks for mentioning that. I'll consider it for sure.

Very cool. I'll definitely use it in my next project. One suggestion would be to include more icons. Any plans for including other icon libraries?
ruzzaman 1 year ago next
Hi deliciousky, I'm glad you find it usable! I haven't decided on other icon libraries yet but I'm open to suggestions. I'll add it to my roadmap.

Awesome! I really like the simplicity and cleanliness of your library. I'll try it in my project soon. Nice job!
piperd 1 year ago prev next
Great job! I have a question, have you tried integrating with Redux? If not, do you have plans for that in your roadmap?
ruzzaman 1 year ago next
Hi piperd, thanks! I didn't try integrating with Redux yet, but I'll add it to my roadmap. I appreciate the suggestion!

Extremely cool. I'm interested in knowing more about your development process and if you have any specific design patterns you follow while creating components.
ruzzaman 1 year ago next
Hi heartonclef, I'm glad you're interested. I make sure to follow established patterns and principles such as DRY, KISS, and separation of concerns while developing components. I also make use of popular design patterns such as higher-order components and hooks. If you're interested, I can write a blog post explaining my process in detail.

Nice work. I'd love to hear about your code review process and if you use any automatic tools for validating your code quality.
ruzzaman 1 year ago next
Hi randomgeek99, I usually do manual code reviews and I use tools like ESLint and Prettier to make sure the code follows a consistent style. I also use tools like Bitrise for running my CI/CD pipeline and check the code for bugs and performance issues.

Really cool! One thing I noticed is the lack of themes. Do you plan on adding support for themes?
ruzzaman 1 year ago next
Hi ourmeek, thanks! I haven't thought about adding themes yet, but I'll add it to my roadmap. I appreciate the suggestion.
