This project follows standard style.

Best Practices

• break up styles file
• use style constants (TODO)
• redux
  • presentational components do not connect()
  • do not use subscribe() directly
• models separate from apis on server side
• only use one ID for documents in the database

Good React/Redux resources:

• Organizing React Native project
• Why to not use subscribe
• Why to not use subscribe again
• Basic intro to Redux
• React createClass() versus extends Component
• Two types of React components
• React component lifecycle
• Facebook login SDK and usage
