Weekend hack project
Recently I completed a pretty simple weekend hack project; A country quiz using React, Typescript, Apollo & emotion. Try the quiz or view the code.
In 2015 I was writing React in Coffescript, using Redux as the data layer. I thought the developer experience was pretty awesome and it was, but we’ve come a long way:
Apollo abstracting data fetching, caching & relationships is a so much simpler and more powerful than architecting a relational database in Redux.
Thanks to Typescript I barely switched to my browser to check the code and when I did it almost always worked.
React has come along way. Yet it feels closer to it's functional programming roots and the additions just "make sense".
Front-end development has come along way. Anyway, check out the code or take a quiz yourself.
