ETA for Expo-payments-stripe for managed workflow - react-native

Does anyone know what the ETA (expected time of release) of the Expo-payment-stripe for managed workflow? This information helps in project planning and using the right solutions for our product. Thank you!

I work on Expo. It will take at least a few more months, and possibly longer, for us to integrate Stripe into the managed workflow, as is.
The reason for this is that Apple will sometimes reject apps if they have any Stripe code in them but aren't collecting payments, and right now, all managed workflow apps have the same binary code.
For now, the bare workflow is the best way to integrate Stripe and other payments solutions. In the medium term, we are working on ways to give you the best of both worlds. And eventually, we'll probably be able to put it into something that looks like the managed workflow.
I'm sorry we don't have a better solution for you already. This is one of the most requested features and we are working on stuff now that will give you more options to solve it in good ways.

Vue architecture example for inspiration

TL;DR; Please share really complex, clean and well structured vue project.
Hello and thanks for reading!
I have been using react for quite a while. I know how to cook complex application and keep it simple and well structured.
I have learned Vue and feel I can handle any task. But I am always thinking: Am I using the best solution? Do that code will cause problems in future? etc. Official docs provide list of projects. But there are a lot and most of them either simple or messy.
So I'm looking for vue code samples (not basic and simple), and just good idea of what to use and what I should avoid. I am interested in code architecture, how should I split files, folders etc. And I would be gratitude for any good and real live experience you are ready to share.
Thanks in advance!

Can Dialogflow agents be created, updated and deleted (managed) 100% programmatically?

I am looking to wrap a bot service in order to enable business areas to create and manage them at will with minimal technical knowledge, but meeting our strict security controls. With this in mind I need to be able to create and manage them 100% programatically.
I have been working on a prototype with Microsoft's Bot Framework, Luis and QnA Maker. Sadly though joining these technologies requires a number of manual steps, specifically:
Creating a bot in Azure (Bot Framework)
Creating a Luis Account
Joining Luis bot with Azure(the subscription management part
of the API was recently deprecated)
Creating a QnA Account
Microsoft really don't feel very joined up at all...
With this in mind I am now looking for alternatives and thus looking to see what Google are up to. I am just a bit weary of heading off in a new direction to find similar issues.
Looking briefly at the API documentation it seems I should be able to import an agent in to a project and then manage it. I imagine I could use a template to create my bots from.
Thanks for your time
Mike
Thanks for your feedback.
The way I see it, Bot Framework is more modular than other options out there. First of all, creating a LUIS and QnA account are optional and not time consuming. The average use case can be solved with less than 50 lines of code with no need to throw LUIS or QnAMaker into the mix. Why should Microsoft force you to use LUIS if you might not need it? Google uses a different approach. In my opinion, they give you most of the tools from start, like the NLP agent, so you need to understand NLP concepts even if you don't really need to use them. Most developers tend to overthink their bots and make them more complex that hey need to be.
With that said. We don't provide a way to create agents programmatically. But the process of registering your bot is very straight forward and fast. Let me know if you have any problems on this regard.
Please, take a look at our samples here:
https://github.com/Microsoft/BotFramework-Samples
They can give you a very deep knowledge on what architecture to use for different scenarios. Many times there is a simpler way to achieve the same goal and Microsoft does not try to force you to use the most advanced techniques. Most of the time you can achieve your goal with very simple and easy to maintain code.

A Quick Update, in the end we went with a solution based on this idea:

I can simply create a new bot by executing cloudformation.

What IoT project to develop modules connected by BLE was funded on Kickstarter?

I apologize in advance. I'm almost certain this question may not be appropriate here, but there doesn't seem to be a specific place on SO for such questions, so I've decided that as a last ditch effort, I'll ask on the main site. Please don't be (too) angry with me....
I'm looking for a specific IoT project, that was developing modules connected by BLE. They were independent modules, say just a speaker, on a coin-sized die connected to each other or a computer via BLE. The project seems to have been succesfully funded on Kickstarter, with an SDK and shipping to the backers, but I can't find them again. I've been searching for a day and a half, but I can't remember for the life of me what they're called. I've searched through my chrome bookmarks, but the computer I was using at the time was a lab system, so I most likely wasn't logged into Google, and those systems are wiped every week. The project was probably from 2014, and they kinda advertised themselves as an easy way to learn HW/SW, and the SDK might have had Code block drag and drop, like Scratch. No combination of search terms that I can think of on Google is bringing up the results I want. Please help, if you know this project, or a specific way to find it.
I'm fairly certain this question will get moved, but before it does, I hope SO's vast and vastly informed community will be able to help me or point me in the right direction....
After days of searching and going through possibly most of the IoT style projects out there, I finally found the one I was looking for: it's SAM Labs. If anyone wants to know, it's probably one of the cheaper options for creating a limited use remote application.

Any feedback for Rhomobile (cross platform to build smartphones using Ruby)?

I've been trying to develop a cross platform mobile app, very simple one (DB driven), so I had to chose between PhoneGap, Appcelerator and Rhomobile.
I'm a big fan of Ruby and ROR, so using the same MVC structure and Ruby syntax is a big advantage for me.
Anyways I would like to ask few questions here if any of you guys used it already as it's a very risky decision specially that it is the least known framework among the mentioned above.
Do you know any solid smartphone App that used Rhomobile? this could give it more credibility. I don't wanna invest much time developing the solution then to get refused from apple appstore for some reason or to face any major problem in the production.
Did you notice any performance issues? specially with the UI? as it is not a purely native application (unlike RubyMotion or Objective-C) ?
Do you have any idea of the pricing? for commercial uses? is there any fees or is it totally free app?
Thanks in advance
I have been in the trend of developing RhoMobile applications since more than 2 years. In my opinion, i found this more powerful and stable than other frameworks.
Since you are a ROR/Ruby developer, it's will be lightning fast speed for you to catch the flow. you will not believe that most of the concepts of ROR are available in this framework.
Regarding your queries,
Do you know any solid smartphone App that used Rhomobile? this could give it more credibility. I don't wanna invest much time developing the solution then to get refused from apple appstore for some reason or to face any major problem in the production.
You will find no issue while deploying the app to stores if you just simply follow the basic flow as they have on there documentation. Although it's not as easy to check for the apps based upon the technology used, but this link may help you.

Did you notice any performance issues? specially with the UI? as it is not a purely native application (unlike RubyMotion or Objective-C) ?
All the Hybrid apps usually have a layer between you coding and the native api, which will any how take some few amount of reaction time, be it Rhomobile, Rhonegap or others.
But as per my experience, same performance degradation have been marked by me, than the native one for all the frameworks.
Do you have any idea of the pricing? for commercial uses? is there any fees or is it totally free app?
If you want to use only RhoMobile. Its free. But if you want to use some advance modules and some core modules, you need to have the RhoElement license for this, which is basically a paid one.
Hope these points help you deciding you best framework.

Distributed rendering in a CAVE system

I am currently working with CAVE systems and I'm looking into hooking up a pre-exisiting game engine in one. I know this is possible through Unity and the Unreal Engine as there is already research out there showcasing that it has been done.
Right now, I have not decided upon one game engine to use and I'm currently looking around and researching if it is possible with the likes of CryEngine and Valve's Source Engine. The one issue that I am going to face, however, is getting the image to correctly render across all four of the monitors / screens.
Thusly, as a result I have two questions:
1.Does anyone know of any good research / books on distrubuted rendering? It doesn't need to be specificly for games, just the topic in general would be very useful
2.Does anyone know if other developers have managed to get Source and the CryEngine to run in a CAVE system? Through all my research I haven't been able to find anything on this, but then my google skills aren't the greatest.
If anyone could spare the time to answer these questions, I'd be extremely greatful.
Thanks.
