Mobile GUI ? #143

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

Pretty nice example of ipfs usage.

where is the Mobile GUI ?

I think that you can speed up alot of the code using WASM and protobufs

Hey @gedw99, cheers! https://github.com/textileio/textile-mobile is our React Native UI which relies on gomobile-generated iOS + Android frameworks from this repo

ghost commented 6 years ago

thanks @sanderpick

found it.. I had a lot of trouble getting react native and golang talking. i ended up getting flutter and golang talking using a json rpc. Its much less messy compared to the bridge i found. Highly subjective opinion of course with this stuff. For example, i hate JS.

am now messing around with doing the exact same json rpc bridge for asci-electron.

Does the react bridge work well for you ? Can you upgrade the client code without having to go past the Apple app store gates of hell ?

Apologies for the delay here @gedw99. I hadn't heard of Flutter. Will check it out.

For our more or less POC desktop app, we're using asci-electron and just vanilla JS. Would be nice to share some code from our mobile app (react native), but hasn't been a priority so far.

To do the live client code updates I believe you'd need to use some third party SDK (or write your own that swaps in a script to the JS runtime on iOS / Android). I know MS App Center provides something like this.

I also use asci- electron for desktop.

It works well too.

But for really high fidelity GUI with all the corner cases that web presents Flutter is awesome.

Desktop does not work for windows but will soon. For Mac and Linux it works.

For mobile is works well.

I write all other code in golang and have a jsonrpc between the flutter and golang layers. So in the golang I put everything like pub sub, logic, database ( like boltdb or badgerdb ). So everything works for offline scenarios :)

Then sync with server over grpc

Sounds pretty slick! Gonna close this but please ping if you need some testers on your project :)
