Software engineer, ready to take on any challenges.

Today, I stumbled across another odd built-in API in React Native: KeyboardAvoidingView. Its behavior is by far the most inconsistent I’ve encountered in the framework. I’m a fan of React’s magic, but this is one of the dark magic scrolls I’d rather not mess with. A quick Google search shows I’m not alone - many developers share this frustration. One post that dives into the issue caught my eye: https://dev.to/iway1/fixing-keyboard-avoiding-in-react-native-1k5i . Thankfully, I found a library that tackles this problem with custom native code to manage keyboard events more effectively. You can check it out here: https://github.com/kirillzyusko/react-native-keyboard-controller . I’m testing it to see if it holds up on both iOS and Android, but so far, it’s performing much better than React Native’s built-in KeyboardAvoidingView. Also, this is the first post so far where I test out AI images by Grok. They look funny...

I’ve been using React Native for a couple of months now. I’m a big fan of React, but React Native often feels like it’s missing key pieces. One feature I really wanted was intersection observers, yet solid, up-to-date solutions are nowhere to be found. I’d like to pass along what I’ve learned on this subject, along with my own implementation, in hopes it’ll spare you some effort. You can find the details and source code in this repository. It’s concise and adaptable, so you can tweak it with extra features or improvements to suit your needs. Happy coding! https://github.com/Yoyo-Shortcut/yoyo-rn-intersection-observer

When working with PostgreSQL database backups, there are two main operations: pg_dump and pg_restore. These commands can be used with any URL, including remote databases. However, Redis built-in APIs for making backup and restoration are not that straightforward, especially when dealing with remote Redis instances. To address this, I've created a repository that provides a playground for simulating the backup and restore process. It also includes a Node.js program that runs a cron job to back up any remote Redis database. This program can be deployed anywhere using Docker. Additionally, the repository is compatible with Railway, a deployment service I frequently use. Github repo: https://github.com/Yoyo-Shortcut/redis-backup
