Long time ago I talked about a pattern I use (a lot!) abusing the functional methods of JavaScript to save some memory and CPU usage. I promised to create a blog post, and almost 4 months after (too much energy draining work…), here is it.

React Native is a framework derived from React that allow to program mobile native apps using JavaScript. It’s only focused on Android and iOS, but its popularity has lead to other implementations of its API for other platforms like Windows, macOS or also web. Thing is, although they share the same APIs and source code is (almost) compatible between them, they are not integrated so it would surface difficulties to add a new platform to an existing code, or forcing to have several different projects that could lead to duplicated efforts or diverge the features of them.

projectlint is a projects-wide linter and style checker I’ve been working on during the last weeks. As part of its set of rules, one of them ensures that the current version of the operating system where the code is running is maintained and updated. But, is there a npm package with info about the operating systems lifecycles? Nope… enter OS lifecycle.

Experimenting with redux-offline, I’ve done a Proof-of-Concept about how to use redux-offline in a Node.js environment, like a CLI command. This is useful for example when it’s needed to do an offline aware application that needs to queue some operations until it’s connected again.
