Hi, Curious to know what most folks are doing when building a Typesense React Native integration. Do you use TypesenseJS and create your own hooks/methods around it or do you use Algolia Instant Search?

Well our backend is developed using Django. So from React Native parts we didn't have to configure anything. Our APIs in the backend are responsible for maintaining everything. From frontend we are hitting search API's on keyup changes.

We use sveltekit and skipped out on algolia instant search (even though we could use it). Typesense API is so easy why not just build a custom solution around it?

Yeah, we are trying to figure out which one would get us going faster. The Algolia SDK really seems to be geared towards searching one index with filters being rendered within the same component which wouldn’t be the case for us.

We are searching across 4 different indexes/collections all with different filtering options
