dashboard

Thanks Robin! I've love what you guys are doing at Apollo! I've just answered a similar question below, so I'll just copy the most important bits here as well: One important thing to note here, is that Relay and Apollo are taking different approaches. Relay provides a great framework which works excellent for a lot of use cases and provides the most convenient and robust solution for that. In some cases you want to "break out" of that framework and be more in control how data is fetched or mutated. In that case Apollo is a fantastic choice as well. Especially in combination with Redux. Fun fact: We're actually using both - Relay AND Apollo - in our dashboard at Graphcool. Feel free to take a look at the source here: https://github.com/graphcool/dashboard On a side note: We're already working on a similar project but focussed on Apollo. If

Very good point, morgante! One important thing to note here, is that Relay and Apollo are taking different approaches. Relay provides a great framework which works excellent for a lot of use cases and provides the most convenient and robust solution for that. In some cases you want to "break out" of that framework and be more in control how data is fetched or mutated. In that case Apollo is a fantastic choice as well. Especially in combination with Redux. Fun fact: We're actually using both - Relay AND Apollo - in our dashboard at Graphcool. Feel free to take a look at the source here: https://github.com/graphcool/dashboard On a side note: We're already working on a similar project but focussed on Apollo. If you're interested in getting involved, we're still looking for collaborators: https://github.com/learnapollo

All four points are valid criticism of Relay. Point 1 and 2 especially and the verbose structure of connections is why we decided to offer two endpoints to your project on graph.cool - one that supports all the relay conventions and one that feels much nicer to use. We decided very early on to use Relay for our main frontend (a dashboard similar in complexity to Parse.) It's probably one of the largest open source projects using relay atm, so maybe having a look at that can be helpful https://github.com/graphcool/dashboard In summary we have found that the benefits Relay offer makes up for the quirks and complexity Relay currently forces you to learn. Hopefully Learn Relay can help more people get up to speed faster.
