A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

two years later bumping this one from @sds:

Anyone ever worked with tRPC (trpc.io)? What was your experience?

Recaster

Building @warpcast and @farcaster, new dad, like making food

I've been using it for almost a year. It's very productive for a small team, especially when you need to write React Native in a monorepo. Currently, I'm building /recaster with tRPC, which makes it easy to create a Next.js frontend.  If my experience didn’t convince you, you can check https://github.com/civitai/civitai

thanks for sharing!

what specifically made it good for RN in a monorepo?

The speed of defining APIs and safely using them directly in RN and React is incredible. Otherwise, you'd have to export types from other backend APIs and manage version control.

By the way, what's your biggest concern about not using tRPC? I've heard about slow type issues, but they can be avoided with some tuning.

And you can build and deploy separate api servers integrating with fastify or express in same monorepo, still can benefit from tRPC.
