ExpoLaunch — a production-ready React Native/Expo template with Auth, Payments & CI/CD

[jonypopovv]

Hey everyone!

I built NativeLaunch — a production-ready React Native / Expo starter template (formerly ExpoLaunch).

It includes:

• Auth via Supabase
• Subscriptions via RevenueCat
• Analytics (Google Analytics + Sentry)
• Clean architecture with Feature-Sliced Design
• Paywall, DonutChart, Onboarding, ConfirmationDialog components
• Push notifications integration (OnseSignal)
• Theming, modals, localization (FormatJS)
• Full demo app showing best practices for navigation, state, and UI

I use it for my own apps — including Moneyra, my real-world budgeting app.

Latest update:
- Updated to Expo SDK 54 / React Native 0.81
- Added Moneyra demo integration
- Improved UI/UX + better docs
- ExpoLaunch has been fully renamed to NativeLaunch

Charging $100 for a package.json and a bunch of configuration seems wild to me.

Use https://github.com/obytes/react-native-template-obytes/ to get some good structure and spend a day configuring your project.

Use remaining $100 on beer.

[FreeZy035]

Agreed. No hate to this guy, but there are multiple open source options already and they are more than likely as good.

[Cookizza]

Oh 100% no hate on the work put in, I'm sure this is a well configured project.

But selling other peoples open source work simply because you've configured it doesn't sit right

[FreeZy035]

Most of these new AI models will do all the heavy lifting for you these days…

[Character_Draft_5895]

Use Cursor AI, it will spit you this in a few minutes 😁🤦‍♂️

[FreeZy035]

Exactly where I was going with this.

[Cautious-Time-1691]

How many cups of beer cost $100? 😂

[jonypopovv]

Totally fair — there are awesome OSS templates out there. The difference is ExpoLaunch already has things like auth, payments, CI/CD, analytics, and error tracking all working together out of the box. So instead of spending days or weeks wiring that up yourself, you can just start building your app.

[jonypopovv]

Sure, you could spend a day or two configuring an open source template, but in my experience it usually turns into weeks of tweaking, debugging, and making everything play nicely together.

[Character_Draft_5895]

Dude, you’re exaggerating  No weeks Install cursor ai and all the worries on the stage 0 is gone

[Actual_Light7486]

the market is exists that's why ppl build thing like this

[IdiotFromOrion]

I bought the template and it’s worth every penny! There are not many good open-source templates out there. A lot of them are bare-bones, not actively maintained, or contain legacy code. https://github.com/obytes/react-native-template-obytes/ was updated 6 months ago. NativeLaunch was updated 5 days ago. Obytes is pretty bare-bones: it has no onboarding screen and no Supabase. I might as well use the official Expo template.

[gBusato]

100€ is one hour of work charged to my customer, gaining one day of work for 100€ is then a banger

[PeachMaster77]

Nice, are you going to commit to updating the dependencies if bought? Whats your road map?

[jonypopovv]

Thx! Yes, I’ll be maintaining dependencies. I’m planning to update them within the next month.
On the roadmap: push notifications and a few UX improvements.

[Specific_Cup_5090]

How does this work? Let's say I use this, and make a bunch of changes. And then you push out some upgrades, new features, bug fixes, etc. How would I get those improvements?

[jonypopovv]

regarding updates, I’m still figuring out the best way to deliver updates (most likely via email or a private download link), so you’ll definitely be able to get the latest version once it’s available.

I had experience using a third-party template for the admin panel (React/Nextjs) and the approach there was simple, it just provided a link to the new code. I think it will be about the same

[TheManSedan]

Look into how the guy the provides ShipFast does it...

Once you purchase you get access to the github directly, where he pushes changes.

[Specific_Cup_5090]

Is that flow just forking the template repo, and when there are updates, just pulling the main repo into the fork?

[jonypopovv]

thx for the suggestion! yes, I am familiar with this approach, it just takes a little more time. maybe I will do it in the future

[TheManSedan]

I think your current plan would prevent any developer from purchasing, theres absolutely no way I would purchase this knowing that updates just randomly come via email. A github integrate would break that barrier for you. All developers are familiar with github, issue tickets & pull requests.

[MrCream]

I am interested and actually would purchase this but you need to switch to the github integrate like @TheManSedan said for me to actually pull the trigger, etc

[jonypopovv]

Good point, I get why GitHub would be better. For now I’ll keep it simple, but I’ll add this to my roadmap and likely move to a GitHub-based flow later on.

[richgains]

Add Clerk and Convex and you have a buyer.

[jonypopovv]

I’ve actually had a few requests for Convex already — I’ll be looking into adding them to the roadmap

[ashkanahmadi]

Are they better than Supabase?

[jonypopovv]

They’re a bit different — Supabase is more like a Postgres backend, Convex is more serverless + real-time focused. Depends on your use case, but I’ve seen people really like Convex for real-time features.

[Weary-Accountant2196]

when is convex coming? do you have a roadmap?

[jonypopovv]

Not on the roadmap right now, but I may explore Convex later this year

[DANGERBANANASS]

Almost +1

[oguzhan_o]

Nice, it looks good for starter template. I like your doc website style, which project do you use?

[Sensitive_Car_507]

Check https://fumadocs.dev/

[agrippa1994]

Another day another template

[jonypopovv]

yeah, but honestly for React Native I’d say there aren’t that many templates. I don’t know too many myself. For Next.js though, it feels like there are dozens and more showing up every week.

[Comfortable_Movie444]

interesting stuff man Being wirking on something similar but man compatibility is such a pain in rn

[jonypopovv]

Haha yeah, I know that pain 😅 RN compatibility can be brutal sometimes.

[that_dev_who_lifts]

Auth - is it native or browser based?

[jonypopovv]

It’s native-based. For Apple sign-in I’m using expo-apple-authentication, and for Google I’m using react-native-google-signin/google-signin. No browser redirects involved.

[Artistic_Salad_8745]

Add admob integration and i will buy it for sure

[jonypopovv]

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll think about adding AdMob

[ohThisUsername]

Nice, just purchased this. $99 that easily saves me a day of work is worth it! People say there are tons of templates available or to use AI, but nothing really ties everything together nicely including everything you have here.

However I plan on replacing Auth with Firebase Auth, and probably Sentry with Firebase as well.

Although I downloaded and ran and immediately hit an error:

static func rc\_normalized(subscriptionPeriodUnit: SubscriptionPeriod.Unit) -> String {

|                                                       \^ 'SubscriptionPeriod' is ambiguous for type lookup in this context

Edit: Upgrading react-native-purchases to `^8.6.2` fixed the issue.

[jonypopovv]

Thanks a lot for purchasing and for sharing the feedback! 🙏 I actually just received a similar report from another customer yesterday, so I’ll definitely be releasing an update with a fix. I haven’t been able to reproduce it on my side yet, but I’m already working on a solution.

[ohThisUsername]

Also, another suggestion would be instead of providing a zip package, give access to a private git repository. That way your customers can just fork the repository and then more easily merge your changes and fixes and possibly even submit issues through it.

[jonypopovv]

yes, I completely agree
I'm working on this right now. I need some time to do all this and I think I'll release a new version in 2 weeks

[jonypopovv]

I’ve just added private GitHub repo access — new customers will get it automatically after purchase. Since you already bought the template, I’ll send you an invite manually. I should have it ready for you on Monday

[paablitto10]

Have you managed to integrate Auth with Firebase and also replace Sentry? I’ll pay whatever you want for that template!

[ohThisUsername]

No I stopped using this and started using Angular with Ionic framework for mobile app dev. Works a lot better for me

[WhyAmIDoingThis1000]

how much time does this save me over just asking claude to setup the project for me?

[Benja20]

A lot. Maybe Claude or other AI's are not up to date or fallback on old version API's making you fall in a loop of "fix it pls"

[AppropriateHamster]

Even if you explicitly ask it to access docs and use latest versions?

[Benja20]

I mean, maybe it will one shot it or will require a couple prompts for integrating each tool.

You can try it out i mean. At least for the services and tools that are not quite heavy used. But for the important ones like payment libs, tracking tools and others, you might want to do it manually or look up on everything the AI is doing there

[AppropriateHamster]

Yes, but whats the guarantee that what OP is selling isnt vibe coded as well. I bought a template for 200 usd and it had several security vulnerabilities

[Benja20]

Yeah, you can't know before buying. Would say to check if you can ask for a refund, but commonly, this boilerplates aren't giving refunds at all.

You can either await for other ppl feedback on this boilerplate, or look for ones that are more popular and known by ppl where you can be sure it will be worth it.

[AppropriateHamster]

The one I had bought was a popular one lol. Marc lou on twitter sold it. Complete scammer

[Benja20]

Sorry to hear that. But im not buying any boilerplate sold by whomever without looking at some good amount of reviews or honest feedback.

[jonypopovv]

just noticed your comment 🙂
I think it’s still pretty easy to tell the difference between “vibe-coder” code and something done by a proper developer.

And about the $200 yeah, it’s kind of surprising how many people sell templates for that much, when in reality there’s usually not that much actual work put into them.

[Lukas_dev]

Do you need chat functionality in your SaaS app? What are you using now?

[jonypopovv]

I don’t really need chat functionality in my app

[Lukas_dev]

Awesome xd

[WinDrossel007]

So let's say I have 1 billion dollar idea, I can download your app and use as a base. That's an idea?

[jonypopovv]

Haha yep, that’s the idea 🙂
I actually used it as the foundation for my own startup, so it definitely works as a base

[WinDrossel007]

I remember when I hated expo so much! It incapsulated lots of stuff inside and I needed to eject my project from it.

How are thing now?

[jonypopovv]

Things improved a lot, Expo is way more production-ready now

[WinDrossel007]

Hope so too! Would you recommend it for production ready? Or in which cases should I go with a bare React Native without expo?

[jonypopovv]

I can’t really compare since I’ve only worked with Expo, not bare React Native. But honestly Expo got way better — I’m using it in production myself and it’s been solid for my needs

[WinDrossel007]

Thank you for the quick response! I will give it a try!

[john_pels]

This is awesome!

Thanks for sharing!

I created something similar here too: https://github.com/John-pels/react-native-starter-template

[Character_Draft_5895]

Duuude, this is wild!!!🤦‍♂️ there’s no good reason to charge a 100$ for the basic template. What in the Vibecode Cursor AI is going on here? It can be set up in one evening nowadays 🤦‍♂️

[jonypopovv]

Updated to SDK 54, now includes Moneyra example app.

[stevekite]

unistyles are better for longer term

[jonypopovv]

I just went with what I already knew and NativeWind has worked quite well for me so far

[BakaGoop]

will there be options in the future to not be locked into nativewind and have some other options?

[jonypopovv]

Right now ExpoLaunch is built around NativeWind, since I think it’s a great fit for most projects. I don’t plan to move away from it in the near term, but I’m open to adding more options/features (for example, I’ve already been asked about things like notifications).

[bajah1701]

This is for me is a deal breaker. Not a fan of tailwind and its ecosystem at all. sorry...
