This week, Jon ramps up his brewing plans with a logo contest, Spencer's girlfriend comes through and lands an XBox and hopefully is overcoming his motion sickness.
In the React arena we discuss state management and if you've never used anything more than component state we got you covered. You'll learn when to up your state game and possibly which type of state management solution will work for you and your app.
If you've gotten into Redux or MobX, this is still interesting because we discuss the differences between multiple solutions and you may hear something that may make you switch!

In this episode, Jon deal with rats and realizes he can do impressions. Spencer gets motion sick over video games but still wants (yet can't find) an xBox.
Our main topic this week covers how to be lazy when building mobile apps by carefully constructing reusable components saving you time and hopefully frustration.
Building a mobile app can be challenging, but you can make it easier on yourself by using some tools and patterns to build reusable components. meaning you can use the same component in multiple places throughout your app, and in other apps.

We have a new friends of the show - Peter Piekarczyk joins us to talk about his company Draftbit and how it can help accelerate your mobile app development using their interface. Build multiple screens, complex UIs with their drag-n-drop interface, tweak properties to get it just right and view the generated code, or export your app so you're not jailed into their system! Oh did I mention you can scan a QR code at any point and view it immediately on your device? Pretty amazing.
We also talk about beer, black Friday preparations, travel during these weird times and a lot more.

** Releasing this early this week **
** Because we talk about the "One More Thing" event on November 10th**
Did you know that Spencer wants to be a gamer now? He thinks hiring a VA is going to give him that time haha. Jon is looking to fill in any free time he had but opening a brewery in his town and plans are flying all over the place. We would be remiss if we didn't mention quickly the burning trash heap that is our Election process.
BUT you're here for mobile development, so ...
Do your mobile apps look like crap? Yea we thought so too. We're going to cover how you can up your design skills, without having to take a course. With the resources we'll talk about you'll be able to figure out how to improve an app you're written or how to build it correct the first time. We run through UI design / UX design flows / css and layout tips as well as using a pre-built design system.

Whelp, if you record often enough, you'll have a disaster. Unfortunately Jon's mic was all static and very noisy for the first part of the show, so this episode doesn't have our typical catchup and mobile news sections. This is VERY unfortunate because Jon actually had a lot of extra time this past week to do some research and first hand dinking around with his app and talks about the different things he did.
We jump straight into securing your app, from how to securely store data to jail break protection.

Spencer and Jon help you boost the performance in your Flatlist components, because if implemented badly, it can really take a toll on your app, rendering blanks, and causing laggy behavior.
They dig into various performance boosting items you can take a look at in your own app. Walk away with faster loading lists, control scrolling and the memory associated with your items.

This week Jon drives down that Road To Hell he paved with good intentions, and faces the fact that hope sucks and he'll never have time to do the things he wants to.
On the brighter side of the podcast, Spencer dives into various ways to make things move in your app, from screen transitions, interfacing with gestures to moving pictures around on the screen. This primer of the various popular animation libraries will help you get started, or at least familiarize yourself with the differences if/when you hear or read about them.

These days it's super easy to build an app with robust back-end APIs. No one has time (or let's be real, desire) to do dev-ops, so we talk about FireBase and it's myriad of offerings from simple key/value store through various extensions like image resizing.
We have some weird phone news as Microsoft is back in the phone game again, Air BnB tries to go public even with a big COVID hit to their business (and Apple breathing down their neck) and we get our first iTunes ratings and review! WOOT!

Offline Storage and Databases

We cover Storing JSON objects in AsyncStorage, different methods of hydration, why it's important to recognize the size of an open source community when choosing a package and/or software solution, and wrap it up with a plea to tweet us, dammit!
