Gorillagram is a test application/laboratory used to learn and explore the capabilites of React Native implementing real life requirements instead of doing one more of the thousands of (boring) TO-DO Apps examples out there.
The goal is to learn React Native the good way doing things that could be close to what you will be doing on your first/next React Native project.
Some of the things this application covers are:
- Redux
- Navigation (with Redux)
- Pulling data as well as posting data to a backend server
- Applying cutomizations per platform
- Geolocation and maps
- Working with the photo gallery and the camera
- Supporting different languages into the app
We are going to be using Cloudinary as CDN in order to build a kind of Instagram app. The app will let the user to upload images as well a searching images by tag.
Cloudinary offers a very rich API to achieve different tranformations and effects when fetching images
