Use gothinkster/realworld as foundation

[schickling]

The purpose of this repository is to act as a reference/real-world example of how a modern Node.js-based GraphQL can be built. So far the theme of this repository was to build a (simple) Airbnb-clone.

@jlengstorf brought up the idea to adopt the gothinkster/realworld model. I like this idea and would love to collect ideas around the architecture.

Cool idea!

An easy way to make this portable would be to create the data sources as reusable packages. Obviously, I'm biased and think GrAMPS is the right way to go, but even if it went another way, portability and reusability will be pretty critical.

Once we have reusable data sources, we could quickly put together multiple back-ends:

• Apollo Server (I'm willing to be the @apollographql team would jump in on this)
• Bindings
• Yoga
• ...what else?

From my conversations with @kbrandwijk, I know that the three above options are compatible with GrAMPS, so we'd be able to basically put together the implementations without having to redefine schemas.

What do you think?

It would be awesome to have the same example with GraphQL.js and DataLoader.
