I like that
- you've made a video showing all the features
- every interaction has nice animations (which library did you use?)
- the goal of the app is simple but very useful
I can imagine that you can build many specialized todo apps using this as a boilerplate.
Do you have any resources you've used for this project? - https://github.com/VctrySam/AirBnb and https://github.com/fbsamples/f8app were very helpful for inspiration, do you have any recommendations?
For animations I just used Animated (https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/animated.html) and LayoutAnimation (https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/layoutanimation...) -- the latter makes things so easy I'll probably end up overusing it.
One resource I looked at was https://github.com/Thinkmill/react-conf-app -- but your f8app looks even better than that! I like going through the package.json of other RN apps to learn about new tools. Some of my favorite packages so far are react-native-code-push, react-native-google-analytics-bridge, react-native-image-picker, react-native-smart-splash-screen, react-native-vector-icons, and redux-persist.
I posted my first thing to Hacker News today too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13938994
Regarding the photos -- for this MVP, I made it a point to not build any server whatsoever. So for now, all pictures are stored on the device's file system. For this I use https://github.com/marcshilling/react-native-image-picker to take/choose the photos and then https://github.com/johanneslumpe/react-native-fs to manage them in the application's storage.
Thanks also for sharing the React Native libraries you used.
I think it will be wise in the long run to keep the pictures on device, and maybe store details about the timeline instead, should you wish to add that social feature. As mentioned by @throwmenow_0140 this could do really well with similar, daily capture type apps. Maybe think of one for capturing a selfie a day: http://metro.co.uk/2017/02/23/man-takes-a-photo-of-himself-e...
In its current incarnation, this could go down a storm with allotment owners in the UK though! And that's not something to be sniffed at :) Keep it up. http://www.allotment-garden.org/
