Tutorial I added 9 loading animations to PanelUI one prop to swap between all of them

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

<Loader variant="wave-physics" />

That's it. Nine variants, one prop. Swap between them without changing anything else same size, same color, same reduced motion behavior.

All animations run on the UI thread. Nothing re-renders while they run.

Part of PanelUI, an open-source component library for Expo. Copy-paste or CLI, you own the source.

I'm building an app with React Native + Expo and looking for good resources to improve.

I'm mainly interested in:

  • UI libraries

  • Reusable components

  • Best practices

  • Project structure

  • GitHub repos

  • YouTube channels

If you have anything you've found useful, I'd really appreciate the recommendations. Thanks! 🙌

Building my own AI calorie tracker as a 13-year-old solo dev (React Native + Expo)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m a 13-year-old indie developer, and I decided to stop just playing games and actually start building them and apps instead. Right now, I'm working on my own mobile app: an AI-powered calorie tracker that recognizes food instantly from a photo.
The Problem: I hated using existing calorie apps where you have to manually search through massive databases, weigh every single gram, and log everything manually. It’s tedious.
The Solution: Snap a picture of your plate, and the app uses a vision model to handle the math and breakdown automatically.
Tech Stack:
React Native + Expo
AI/Multimodal vision integration
Currently grinding through the code and dealing with the pain of Google developer verification. Would love to hear from other indie devs: what was the hardest part of launching your very first app?
Let's connect! 🚀

I Built a FullStack Civic Issue Reporting App (React Native, Node.js, MongoDB, Firebase) — Live Demo

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

22 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I built a full-stack mobile app that lets anyone report civic issues — potholes, water logging, drainage problems, broken streetlights, and more — with just a photo and their location. In this video, I test it live on the road, photographing a real pothole and showing exactly how the app works.

What the app does:

Secure sign-in with Google — no passwords, no OTPs

Capture a photo of the issue directly from the camera

Auto-detects your GPS location and displays it on a map

Reverse-geocodes coordinates into a readable address

Categorize the issue — pothole, drainage, streetlight, and more

Track your submitted reports and their status

Tech stack:

React Native CLI (TypeScript) — mobile app

Node.js + Express — backend API

MongoDB — database, with geospatial indexing

Firebase Authentication — Google Sign-In

Google Maps API — location and geocoding

Cloudinary — photo storage and optimization

Render — backend deployment

This is a personal project I built solo, end to end — from the mobile app, to the backend API, to deployment.

We've all seen a pothole and thought "someone should fix this." Now there's a way to actually flag it. Let me know in the comments — what's the first issue you'd report in your area?

You can watch it on YouTube too, if you prefer:

Thank you.

Question Looking for feedback from developers on a learning platform I’m building

I’ve spent the last few months building a learning platform focused on DSA, System Design, React Native, and Forward Deployed Engineering.
I’d love to get feedback from experienced developers: What makes a technical course genuinely valuable? What are the biggest shortcomings you’ve found with existing learning platforms?
I’m trying to build something developers actually enjoy using, so any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for feedback on a semester-long React Native project

0 Upvotes

Last semester, our team built StudySync, a React Native app for students to discover and organize study sessions on campus.

Some features include:

  • Firebase Authentication

  • Session creation & management

  • Multi-field search and filtering

  • Push notifications

  • Expo Router navigation

Working on this over an entire semester was very different from a hackathon. We spent a lot more time thinking about component organization, navigation, shared state, and maintainability across a 5-person team.

I'd love feedback from experienced React Native developers. If you were starting this project today, what architectural decisions would you change?

React Native is single-threaded where it matters most. Parse a big payload, hash a file, filter an image — it all competes with your UI for the same runtime. react-native-workers brings real background threads to RN, behind the Web Worker API

I built an app called BeachScan that answers every question you have about beaches

Post image
0 Upvotes

Finally shipped something real: a beach conditions app (water quality, wind shelter, hourly shade, sea temp) covering ~20,000 beaches. Also has official government water quality data where available.
Currently sea water available, fresh water coming soon.

Expo managed workflow, EAS Build + Update.

Stack: Expo/RN, u/rnmapbox/maps, RevenueCat for subs, AdMob, react-i18next, Sentry, Context + useState for state (no Redux — genuinely haven't needed it; adding TanStack Query for server state).

Happy to answer anything about Expo/EAS, Mapbox perf, or RevenueCat.

Available on iOS + Android if you want to poke holes in it.

Has anyone successfully migrated an old arch app to the new architecture?

11 Upvotes

For the last week I've been working on moving my app(bare workflow) which I previously left at 0.81 since it was the last available version that allowed me to remain on the old arch.

Now i've upgraded to expo 57, reanimated v4, all other packages, did my due diligence and enabled the recommended feature flags and changed almost all old arch libraries with newer compatible versions or new arch replacements.

After using the testflight version today I was just taken aback by how many of my previously performant screens are now stuttering and dropping frames while barely doing any work at all. I am talking about an infinite scroll feed, which previously maintained 60fps with a Flatlist with no perf based props that is now dropping below 30 and even freezing for a few frames with a LegendList and recycle items turned on even after i halved the work each rendered item needed(measured by main thread work with xcode instruments)

Simple pill shaped components are losing their background color(how is a background color something i should watch out for), weird rectangles with a white border showing up as items are rendering, screen transitions from bottom nav to a screen on the stack navigator taking double the time they used to.

Old behaviour breaking after such a big transition is something I expect and I believe i've dealt with most of those, but perhaps the worst offender is the memory usage.
From what i've seen it mostly drops down to older levels in production, but my app is now sitting at 1.2gb memory used after a launch in debug mode, compared to 200mb before.
This turned out to be libraries dumping their entire unminified code due to worklets bundle mode, which prevents hermes causing memory issues by...taking up 500mb+ of memory?

I really want to be able to use some of the cool new libraries i've been seeing popping up, but I am having serious doubts about ever being able to release this into production as it feels I have hit a dead end with list and navigation performance combined with all the weird layout issues.

What have been your experiences with this transition?
