What does HackerNews think of ignite?

I recently picked up react native, though I had a good amount of experience with React already and much of it is similar. Except for working with the file system and tooling.

One good boilerplate I’d recommend having a look at is https://github.com/infinitered/ignite not a course but possibly a good resource to learn from.

I have to disagree. Writing your own boilerplate can be a great way to learn a new stack, but I think seasoned developers should use (and contribute to) projects that are maintained by the community.

Whenever I come back to a boilerplate project, they're usually using the most recent versions of libraries, or they have some great new features. Examples:

* Rails Composer, for Rails apps: https://github.com/RailsApps/rails-composer

* Ignite, for React Native: https://github.com/infinitered/ignite

I do have one hand-written script that I use for all of my static sites. It copies all the static files into a build directory, gzips HTML/CSS/JS, syncs everything to an S3 bucket, then makes an API request to Cloudflare to purge the cache. But I'm planning to move all my static sites to Netlify [1], so I won't need that script for much longer.

I can recommend Ignite ( https://github.com/infinitered/ignite ) as well, has some scaffolding capabilities.
