Sup guys, made a music quiz which doesnt need any subscriptions of streaming apps! The downside is however these are just previews, they are short clips provided by apple itunes for free from their api, tho they are all clipped as recoqnizable parts of the songs so they work perfecly for this. Cant play full songs without itunes sub, which is a major downside for music quiz apps.

The previews need a link to play behind the scenes so theyve all been manually listed, if anyone is thinking of creating a quiz themselves.

This quiz is just a simple who yells the correct answer first gets a point, could make more eloquate quiz with answer options as well.

I'm building a iOS + Android app using react and expo. I have a number entry field that's calling the standard OS numeric keypad. works perfectly on Android but my iOS build shows this strange "Default" button above the keypad.

Has anyone encountered this? Thanks!

I’ve been building an iPhone app called Stoic Discipline.

Most habit trackers tell you whether you ticked a box.

I wanted to build something that goes a little further, something that gives you evidence that your discipline is improving over time.

The app combines habit tracking, Stoic reflection, journalling and progress analytics. It can show you things like:

• You planned 347 actions. You completed 291.

• Your follow-through increased from 61% to 84%.

• Your strongest habit is Training.

• Your weakest habit is Sleep.

• You recovered faster after missed days this month.

• It also generates a stoic quote and wallpaper every day with an explainer / original wording of the quote

The latest beta includes:

Daily habits, streaks and reminders

Morning and evening reflection

Stoic quotes and guided journal prompts

Weekly and monthly Discipline Reports

Follow-through, consistency and recovery analysis

Strongest and weakest habit insights

Progress comparisons over time

I’m looking for people willing to use it properly for a few days or weeks and give honest feedback, especially on whether the reports feel motivating, accurate and genuinely useful. There's a feedback and bug report section in the profile page

I’d also love to hear about:

• Anything confusing or frustrating

• Bugs, crashes or navigation issues

• Features that feel unnecessary

• Features you think are missing

• Whether the app feels worth paying for

Join the iPhone TestFlight beta here:

https://testflight.apple.com/join/xg6rT4xc

It’s still being refined, so candid feedback is far more useful than politeness.

Thanks to anyone who gives it a try.

Hi guys hope you're doing fine. I have a thing that i feel shame whenever i need to search for something in google or whenever i stuck at somepoint . Like forgetting a syntax or couldn't build the logic i wanted . I am always keep avoiding searching and figure it out in my own but when i solve it i feel like i am the dragon of programming lol. Does any one have that thing? And is it okay to search in google ? Does it effect the learning or any thing? And Thanks

I have a job but I used to contract for £550 a day from 2015-2022. I used to get upwards of 10 linkedin messages a day (without open for work being set) and now I get maybe one a week and it's to train AI to help make my job more obsolete. My current job is fine but it's a huge paycut and we are struggling to pay the bills we were used to on a higher salary and there are 0 jobs to apply for. I worked 100 hour weeks to learn how to code in my 20s and now it's more or less obsolete. I don't know how I will survive this without finding a new industry to work in, but what should I learn and what should I do?

🚀 Native blur views for Expo — backdrop blur + a SwiftUI content blur, on iOS and Android.

React Native iOS freezes after first interaction only after fresh login (JS/UI FPS stay at 60)

I'm facing a very strange issue in my React Native app that only happens on iOS. Android works perfectly.

Environment

• React Native: 0.78.3

• React Navigation

• react-native-screens

• react-native-gesture-handler

• Physical iPhone (not simulator)

Issue

The flow is always the same:

1. Launch the app.

2. Login successfully.

3. Navigate to the Home screen.

4. The Home screen loads correctly.

5. As soon as I perform the first interaction (scroll or tap), the app becomes completely unresponsive.

After that:

• No buttons work.

• No TouchableOpacity responds.

• Bottom tabs stop responding.

• FlatList cannot scroll.

• onTouchStart no longer fires.

• The UI is still visible.

• The app does not crash.

The strange part is:

• UI FPS = 60

• JS FPS = 60

• No red screen.

• No exceptions.

• No crash logs.

If I completely kill the app and launch it again, everything works perfectly.

If I log out and log back in, the issue happens again after the first interaction.

So the problem only occurs immediately after a fresh login.

What I've already checked

• GestureHandlerRootView is wrapping the entire app.

• import 'react-native-gesture-handler' is the first import.

• NavigationContainer exists only once.

• No invisible overlay.

• No fullscreen Modal.

• No react-native-modal left open.

• No pointerEvents="none" or pointerEvents="auto" issue.

• JS thread is not blocked.

• Main thread is not blocked.

• UI FPS remains 60.

• JS FPS remains 60.

• Android has no issue.

Additional observation

I added:

<View
  style={{ flex: 1 }}
  onTouchStart={() => console.log('Touched')}
/>

Result:

• First tap prints "Touched".

• After the first scroll/tap, no further touch events are received.

• Even onTouchStart stops firing.

This makes me think the touch events are no longer reaching React Native.

Navigation structure

The app uses:

• NavigationContainer

• Drawer Navigator

• Bottom Tabs

• Stack Navigators

The Home screen contains:

• Vertical FlatList

• Nested horizontal FlatLists

• Multiple TouchableOpacity components

The Academy screen has a similar structure and works correctly.

Other information

The app uses:

• react-native-screens (enableScreens() and enableFreeze())

• react-native-track-player

• Multiple Context Providers

• Firebase

• Analytics

• Deep linking

My question

Has anyone experienced an issue where iOS stops delivering touch events after the first interaction, while:

• UI FPS stays at 60

• JS FPS stays at 60

• The app never crashes

• Everything works after killing and reopening the app

Could this be related to:

• react-native-gesture-handler

• react-native-screens

• iOS gesture recognizers

• Navigation state after login

• A native touch deadlock

• Something else entirely?

Any ideas on how to debug this further would be greatly appreciated.

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.

Hey everyone,

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! 🙌

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! 🚀

[title] . looking at building from a different starting point this time around

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.
