Renewed support for SSR?

[cmaycumber]

@intergalacticspacehighway recently released: https://github.com/intergalacticspacehighway/rnw-responsive-ssr. Which I thought was pretty interesting.

Would it be of interest to bring https://github.com/intergalacticspacehighway/react-native-responsive-query as the main driver for creating media queries?

Yeah it certainly is of interest, I’ve been discussing it with him. It would be a number of breaking changes (for v4) but I think it’s definitely in the cards.

There is now a getter function option returned from the hook, which makes it much more likely we could implement it with Dripsy.

@nandorojo came up with the hook idea and is helping with the API. We're trying to make it customizable enough to be used in RN design systems.

I really go back and forth on this. I want to implement it for the future of react, and to attract the web ecosystem. But I feel like everything should live in JS. 🤷‍♂️

Once this gets answered, I'll feel better: necolas/react-native-web#1688 (comment)

I'm going to close this for now since I don't necessarily plan on adding it at the moment. I find that there is some risk to circumventing React Native Web still, especially after watching this great talk talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFFn39lLO-U

If necolas/react-native-web#1688 (comment) gets a good answer, I'll re-open it.

That said, I'm open to using @intergalacticspacehighway's hook under the hood in v4. That way, if we decide to use SSR, it's as simple as enabling it.
