🔥 Ignite Your Mobile Development

An unfair head start for your React Native apps.

When our mobile dev team jumped into React Native 8 months ago, we couldn’t find concise information. The boilerplates we did find were either lacking or just … well sucked. Keep in mind, this is before such awesome releases as Barton Hammond’s snowflake. Back eight months ago, we did what we could, taking turns exploring and making mistakes.

React Native GO GO GO!

Fortunately, our pain has been everyone’s gain. We blogged often and fondly; plus we contributed to Open Source projects when we could. Internally, we’ve diligently worked together over the past half-year+ to figure out a groove that embodies all the lessons learned.

Nowadays, it seems a new boilerplate is available every week and though they help the community learn a few things, we still feel they don’t impact us much. We’ve really ironed out a fantastic system for React Native. As a consultancy that needs to educate one another as well as ship product, our values are strong but simple:

A unified place to demonstrate and explain best practices. Baked-in tools to help understand and optimize during development. Generators that fit 80–90% of common code to promote speed.

Our greatest contribution for all of this is version 1.0 of Ignite

What is Ignite?

For us, it’s a multi-purpose tool.

It’s our tool to accomplish the values listed above. It’s our tool for documenting updates, and it’s our tool for contributing to Open Source.

Help us define it further. Use it, open issues, PRs, and suggestions on our repo. Do you need a battle-tested head start that you know works? Here it is:
