can i use graphcool instead of firebase
m
sure
s
i will use react-native as front-end my only challenge is to handle users presences and make realtime mutation to the server
m
have you maybe checked out Apollo? itโ€™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 ๐Ÿ™‚

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 ๐Ÿ˜ž 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
m
I think i get it, you want to track whether user is still active or not right?
s
i track users active and their location ... something like in uber
