Github-Repo-Browser

Github-Repo-Browser is a simple React Native (iOS/Android) application to browser GitHub most starred repositories.

It was implemented for didactic reasons, therefore it is not yet ready for production (see Next steps section below).

The following video presents the basic usage:

Next steps

The application still needs a lot of adjustments to reach the production level, and the list below presents the main/urgent needs according to my feeling...

• Improve error handing (since currently it prints log messages only).

• Improve details UI (since currently it is too much simple and ugly).

• Implement additional requests to fetch relevant repository info.

• Write unit-tests and end-to-end tests (at least to cover basic functionalities).

• Choose an i18n solution (currently it contains hard-coded english texts only).
