The Grand Solution for Hospitality Staffing

If you’ve never seen The Grand Budapest Hotel, you’re missing out on a true masterpiece. Directed by Wes Anderson, the movie revolves around the adventures of a hotel concierge in a weirdly beautiful setting of the 1930’s Central Europe.

Quirky and entertaining, it features an ensemble cast of Bill Murray, Ralph Fiennes, Jude Law, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Owen Wilson, Edward Norton, and others. If you’re into movies, each of these names alone would be well enough a reason to catch the film. In The Grand Budapest Hotel, you get a whole crew of some of the world’s finest actors working together.

If you have seen the movie, though, you know that exceptional hospitality staff is exceptionally hard to find. Be it a bellboy, a chef, or any other specialist, hiring the right person is never easy. Or rather, it hasn’t been until now. This autumn, hospitality staffing will change forever thanks to a product we’re working on.

React Component Libraries and Frameworks to Watch on Github in 2018

When building web apps with React, component libraries help you speed things up, which is always neat. By offering the Bootstrap-like convenience of building React applications out of readymade components, these libraries make web development somewhat similar to playing around with Lego.

In addition, React libraries often enforce development approaches and best practices, decreasing the decision fatigue. At the end of the day, this enables you to ship MVPs faster, while keeping your code readable and maintainable. Needles to say this can save you weeks worth of development time.

Choosing a React components library or framework, on the other hand, is a time-consuming process. There’s a gazillion of options out there, each one having its strengths and weaknesses.

So how do you choose the right library or framework?
