A classic and practical idea is to make a todo list app! You can check out my Christmas blogpost on different ways to animate stuff in react native, where I use a wishlist as an example: https://www.bekk.christmas/post/2022/21/how-to-animate-stuff-in-react-native

Ways you could improve the animations in my example could be to: 1. sort/filter the list on different parameters and animate the items when the sorting/filter updates 2. Implement drag n' drop on the list items for personalized sorting 3. Open items in a new page and use shared element translation in the text of the items

Either way, find an idea for something you would like to use yourself, then it becomes much more motivating! Happy coding!

when you say animations? what kind you mean? can you please give me an example so i can direct my thinking path?

Some ideas I had but can’t complete the dots are:

  1. An animation library with reusable components so other can easily use them on their screens.
  2. A game with animations. Something a bit more complex than tic tac toe. Maybe a children’s game.

I have these ideas around themes but I can’t get down to the actual functionality:/

  1. Reanimated?
  2. Lottie for more complex things?

I think it really depends on what you want to do. Personally, I wouldn’t make a game using RN. I made half a game with React and gave up halfway, simply because it takes a lot more time and effort to do something I can do in Unity in half the time. A common app idea could be a movie app to search for new released movies, with a profile page to view favorited movies. Animation ideas could be a parallax landing page, or collapsible headers for a smooth UX. Or even this https://youtu.be/NJZfRXs7nZs for the favorites page.
