Aren't there existing frameworks to help with that instead of making one yourself? Or it's easier for you to deal with just your own code without dealing with somebody else's?

Good question, to answer you: yes there are, but I only wrap components with a lot of functionality from these frameworks in order to apply my UI/UX and functionalities I need.

For example, for all Button/Typography/Link/Card components, I prefer to have my own component because the frameworks under React Native don't provide enough in this area.
But for example, a TabBar/Drawer/Datepicker component will already be very functional on a framework, so here I'm going to pick it from the framework and apply a wrapper to it, so I can use the my own UI/UX and add functionality if needed.

For information, I currently design my components with NativeWind v4 (styles) and React Native Deleted member 731332 (animations)

Hey! That’s an exciting journey you’re about to embark on! Your plan sounds solid, and it’s awesome that you’re already setting clear milestones. Starting with React Native is a great choice, especially with your background in C++/Go, as it’ll make the learning curve a lot smoother

Thank to all and good luck to your project and life

A pleasure to share my adventure, I will update this post regularly.

Right now I'm learning React Native and then I'm going to do a keywords analysis on Apple Store, download 2-3 apps competing with my niche and analyze them to think about how I can improve!

By the way, I'm wondering whether I should start with the « onboarding phase » in the apps or wait 1 month for the feedbacks before adding it to my apps

Gm all, on this sunny Saturday, I wanted to give you a little update:
- I'm very comfortable with React Native now I can make a basic application without too much trouble. (styles, logic, architecture, little native code for widget)
- I'm currently looking on apptweak for niches I can easily exploit as my first application.
- I'm learning how to use Figma to design mockups for each screen of an app, which will help me not to rush headlong into making it and to be able to think little by little about behaviors/screens.


My goal is to release my first app in 1 month (from the start date).

In a small corner of my mind I'm thinking a bit about acquisition without “spending” too much but I think it will depend a lot on my niche, if ever people read me and have advice with TikTok, Ads or other do not hesitate to dm me!

Have a good weekend and don't forget that procrastination isn't the only way to change your life

Good luck with your journey! also if I was you i would focus more on marketing and getting users since ASO alone is not enough

nice sharing here man love to read this content always waiting for next update

Good luck mate! I'm following. I'm doing something similar as well. Got inspired by @nakamura

Good luck!

Gm all and thanks for yours words

Here's a little update, I've almost finished coding my first app, I'm at 80% and I'm going to use it with some friends for 1 week every day to find bugs and feedbacks!

I'm currently looking for someone to help me with the organic marketing part, first I'm studying my competitors and taking inspiration from other apps to understand!

Already got many ideas for my future apps!
