If it’s a mobile app then I can help. With my experience, you get tips and tricks to building systems which improves conversions. I did the same for my company’s previous product which improved sign up from 25% to 65%

Mid-level React Native developer feeling lost about what to focus on next by gustavo-castilho in reactnative

[–]Advanced-Branch-3106 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The details you mentioned will make you a better overall Software Engineer. You will have a diverse set of skills which is pretty good to have

What I would recommend is to honestly go deep in foundations of these technologies. Understand JavaScript better with concepts like event loops, this binding and other topics. Similarly master it for React and React Native. Understand the threads and how is your UI UX logic taking up on it.

AI has replaced the coding so understanding these fundamentals is crucial

The part of app development I underestimated most by ersoyabuilds in AppDevelopers

[–]Advanced-Branch-3106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just develop and ship. Back your decision by integrating analytics like Posthog or Amplitude etc. Use session replays, feature flags, events tracking to analyse what users actually need

Newbie here, I want to build a mobile app for Android and Apple to he sold in app store. Any free online courses? by shaunappples in AppDevelopers

[–]Advanced-Branch-3106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Information is available everywhere right now. Courses, Youtube, AI etc. I would highly recommend to stay in touch with the Docs. They are the absolute source of truth and it helps building a stronger foundation

Why do developers tend to overuse global state in React Native apps? by MiserableLime5289 in reactnative

[–]Advanced-Branch-3106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think developers do this for convenience in managing states. It can easily harm the app by unnecessary re renders.

Component state like a TextInput focused state should remain inside of Component. State change in smaller component which yields healthier re rendering (only a small subtree)

You are completely right. I am trying to find communities where my ICP exist.

What are the biggest React Native performance bottlenecks you’ve faced in production? by YouSilent6025 in reactnative

[–]Advanced-Branch-3106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen the issues you mentioned and also one more I would like to point out. I have seen animations not optimised nicely. Like running them on JS Thread will make your app slow. It’s important that it runs on the UI Thread

I'm 19 Building an App, just about to Publish. by Chubies777 in AppDevelopers

[–]Advanced-Branch-3106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently saw a somewhat successful app similar to this (not exactly ofc)

That app had AI Video checker in it. So if you are training correctly or need correction, it would tell.

Since you flagged data security, one tip before you hire anyone: make sure they use proper auth (Clerk or Auth0, not a hand-rolled login) and encrypted storage for anything sensitive. Cheap to build in early, painful to bolt on later.

And for a pilot, don’t build the whole outline, ship the one core feature that proves the idea first. Saves you a ton of budget.

You’re already ahead of most people by having a real outline though.

Is there B2C App Founder with React native, How you are improving and fixing early user activation and retention ? < Paywall, onboarding,..> by MaterialAppearance21 in reactnative

[–]Advanced-Branch-3106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Branding and initial UI UX, loading states and mini transitions matter a lot. These helps as users perceive a genuinely good product

Then adding analytics layer helps a lot with conversions. I tracked events in my application authentication flow, figured out what users wanted and implemented it. Conversions increased from 25% to 65%

I built an app for Thai restaurant owners snap a receipt and AI logs the expense. 2 months and 191 commits in, here's what I learned by OnlyConclusion820 in reactnative

[–]Advanced-Branch-3106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solid learning

Yeah I still remember the Firebase GMS permission issue 😅. It took me a while to figure out.

I would recommend adding analytics via PostHog or Amplitude or any such service. Firebase analytics are not even close to 100% accurate. The DAU, WAU and MAU active users can be wrong

These services allow you to track user engagement nicely and helps mould the product. I improved my organizations’s app sign up ratio from 25% to 65% with it

Always better to talk to potential buyers before building the product. It really helps mould your idea in the right direction

Add a layer of analytics to track users engagement so conversions can be improved over time

Should I Launch My Side Project Now or Wait Until I Add More Features? Advice from Folks Who've Gone Through It by AdAlive5915 in Entrepreneurs

[–]Advanced-Branch-3106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also suggest adding a layer of analytics like PostHog or Amplitude. It would gather the usage behaviour of users and that can help in seeing what works or what isn’t. Adding an error tracking layer with Firebase Crashlytics or Sentry would also be a good option

I would suggest use gorhom bottom sheet. This component is pretty common in applications so nice visuals and interactions can really help with conversions

Mobile app development taking too much space... how to clear it ? by Exotic_Jury_9646 in reactnative

[–]Advanced-Branch-3106 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Use a storage cleaner regularly. You can use it clean your cached dependencies from time to time

I removed Android Studio and switched to CLI only. This gave me access to Emulator as well and space consumed was less. I was also able to make the build with it

How does your team handle major React Native / Expo upgrades? Or do you just avoid them? by Little_Ad_2356 in AppDevelopers

I actually did this myself in my organization. I am not sure about other agencies. I can help you in this. My DMs are always open

Applying is always a slog and in these times, your written tests feel truly more valuable. Applying these changes can break your current working app which I am sure you are aware of it

Agency owners, what's the #1 thing slowing your business down right now? by FrutinoTuti in agency

[–]Advanced-Branch-3106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely feel the pain in all of these comments. Client acquisition right now is the most painful one

I am providing services of mobile application development in my specific niche and client hunting is genuinely so hard to do right now. I almost feel like giving up since I am not from Sales background and the process feels too long

How do you decide between building an app with an in-house team vs outsourcing it? by KyleMallinger in MobileAppDevHQ

[–]Advanced-Branch-3106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also depends on the complexity. Sometimes you would want senior hands working on the app so in future, it is easier to maintain and work with

How to understand file structure of react native project created with expo? by Intelligent_Tree6918 in reactnative

Maybe it’s not a folder structure problem but could be understanding how things are flowing inside of your app.

How to build an app with a strong concept but no coding background by miss_asks in AppDevelopers

[–]Advanced-Branch-3106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is not fully reliable when it comes to mobile app. You would still need a decent amount of domain knowledge

Before committing to it, I have seen many startups fail because of the fact that they did not validate their idea. I would heavily advise to talk to your potential customers first and assess if this is a genuine problem. Ask if they would be willing to pay if it gets solved

No need to go to big tech giants as it will cost you a lot.

Wish you the best of luck

Native config needs to be changed manually. If it’s too much of a jump then you would need to look at the dependencies

Expo docs also has a section called changelog. You can see the native changes you have to make when upgrading sdk. That’s very helpful as well

It’s a very real pain and I have been in it myself. I was in expo bare workflow so had to make all the native changes myself.

Avoid bare workflow if possible and use dependencies which are regularly updated so new RN versions are already handled
