I first got exposed to GraphQL via Gatsby, which uses it for build-time configuration of data loading into React components. I just think that's cool as all heck - brilliant "off-label" use of the tech. It all disappears in the build stage - your compiled, production-ready bundle has no GraphQL in it at all. When building your site, you get built-in access to GraphiQL configured for your project, which is such a great way to explore and play with your data as it grows and changes.
I haven't spent enough time with it to give any tips, just want to second your "pretty awesome" verdict.
Just a coder and a dad. I love my family and I love to code!!!! started coding at 11, so I have 25 years under my belt. Still love learning about it every day. Black lives matter!
I hope you do - GraphQL is just one of the many things I like about working with Gatsby! I tend towards a framework-averse personality but Gatsby has made a lot of the same choices I would have as well as some I wish I'd thought of.

+1. We rebuilt our webiste with Gatsby. It was a really fun experience and got everyone on the team to learn a little React.
That is awesome. I'll check out Gatsby, I heard of it just hadn't used it. Love me some react.
