Retool’s Post

This is very big news, particularly the new pricing model that scales for business and enterprise clients. Before external apps in Retool, the pricing model conflicted for creating SaaS products & full-fledged external facing products on the platform. This new pricing model makes Retool go from a place to make a SaaS POC, to just where you make the entire product.

HOW TO DEPLOY AND HOST YOUR FRONTEND APP. 👇👇🎯💯💯 1: Choose Your Hosting Provider: Platforms like Netlify, render, Vercel, and GitHub Pages offer seamless hosting for frontend apps. Evaluate based on features like scalability, ease of use, and integrations with your tech stack. 2: Prepare Your Build: Before deploying, ensure your frontend app is optimized for production. Minify CSS/JS, compress images, and remove unnecessary dependencies to reduce load times. 3: Deploy Your App: Most hosting platforms provide simple deployment pipelines. Connect your Git repository, configure build settings, and trigger deployments automatically on code changes. 4: Domain Configuration: Customize your domain for a professional touch. Many hosting services offer easy domain setup, allowing you to map your custom domain to your deployed app effortlessly. 5. That’s all. Follow Wisdom Uchendu for more

This is the no. 1 way to save more time. (And it takes less than 10 minutes). Everyone can build a React web app, most use "forever" to finish. Why? Because they build apps without making components reusable. Here's how I create reusable components (step-by-step): 1. Identify repetitive patterns in your app. 2. Create a new component for 1 purpose. 3. Name it descriptively (e.g. FormInput, Card). 4. Copy the JSX that you want to make reusable. 5. Create the props value, pass it as an argument. 6. Use the props to customize components behavior. 7. Export your components → reuse when you need to. STOP reinventing the wheel for every feature. SAVE yourself more time by making your components reusable. See how I created a "basic" reusable component in the comments. P.S. Do you create reusable components this way too?

Excited to share my another article on Medium about optimizing React apps for better performance and efficiency. Dive into techniques like lazy loading, memoization, and the power of useCallback. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced developer, these insights can help you build faster, smoother user interfaces. #React #WebDevelopment #PerformanceOptimization #ReactHooks #UIUX

Optimizing React Apps with useMemo. In React development, we want our apps to run smoothly for a better user experience. This is where useMemo comes in. It's a special feature in React that helps our apps work faster by remembering things (returning previous data) instead of recalculating them every time. However, we shouldn't use useMemo everywhere. It's like a special spice in cooking – use it wisely, only when it really helps. Before using useMemo, it's important to profile your application. Use performance profiling tools to identify actual performance bottlenecks. it can make your apps slower, not faster when misused, so ensure that it is used only where it makes a significant impact. Do you know when to useMemo? When a process in your app takes more than 1 millisecond (1 ms) or if you're doing lots of data iteration e.g. (using the filter function) or creating thousands of objects, then useMemo might be helpful. You can check how long a process takes using console.time() and console.timeEnd(). Remember, your computer might be faster than your users' devices. Use Chrome devtools to simulate a slower device and test how your app performs. #reactjs #frontenddeveloper #linkedinlearning

Slow React apps? Not on our watch! 🚀 . .. The key to lightning-fast performance lies in code splitting and lazy loading. Let's dive into React's fantastic lazy feature to ensure your app loads like a breeze. By splitting your code into different bundles, you can defer loading a component's code until it's needed. This speeds up the initial page load and ensures a smoother user experience. ⚡ Pro Tip: Leverage lazy loading for complex apps to minimize the time it takes for the browser to download the JavaScript bundle. Embrace this powerful feature to build React apps that are fast and deliver an exceptional user experience. Say goodbye to sluggish loading times and hello to optimized performance! 🚀✨ #ReactTips #CodeSplitting #LazyLoading #ReactPerformance #WebDevelopmentTips

Level up your React app's user experience! Local storage lets apps remember user data like to-do lists, making it seamless to pick up where you left off across sessions. This code snippet shows a clean way to handle that in React using useEffect. #reactjs #localstorage #developerlife
