Contributing
Due to time constraints there are several features that I haven’t been able to develop yet. If you would like to develop your React Native skills and contribute any of the features below this would be hugely beneficial!
- Debouncing or throttling on search functionality.
- PropTypes on components.
- Adding clear search button functionality on Android. This functionality already exists on iOS.
- Animations would be a nice touch! Fading in the details screen background image would be priority.
- Any general performance improvements.
Other contributions and suggestions are always very welcome! Contact me if you wish to discuss anything.
