can i use graphcool instead of firebase

sure

i will use react-native as front-end my only challenge is to handle users presences and make realtime mutation to the server

have you maybe checked out Apollo? it’s super easy to implement and features lots of tools to make realtime transactions (

subscriptions

for example and also

polling

maybe), anyway totally worth checking out 🙂

thank you very much i just started playing around with react and Apollo from howtographql website but it seems that i have to do what i need buy myself 😞 i have to make a call interval when my root component start and send mutation to the server where the user update his status every (idk) seconds and i subscribe and get users that still updating their status

I think i get it, you want to track whether user is still active or not right?

i track users active and their location ... something like in uber
