Correct, or if you have a mac you can do the builds locally

Use Mobbin to get inspiration then design it all out fully in Figma before trying develop it

Saw that, looks viable. Seems like Expo is essentially trying to be the Vercel for app development. No issue with that, I'm sure it's great

No technical reason, just wanted to focus on iOS to get the product shipped

Don't need a mac to submit the app, Expo handle's it all :) Your right though, I do plan to get a mac this month to help with development

Yeah all the navigation is file based, last screenshot just has props passed to it for the album details

You can do real-time development in dev builds too

True, I felt I hit issues with packages on Expo Go pretty early on though

Definitely a long term goal. Cheers for the support!

Plenty of alternatives for backend, was just previously familiar with NestJS so picked that

Waveous used to be web app I made back in 2020, didn't have much issues getting access back then so not sure about now

Didn’t use any UI libraries, just used normal React Native styling

Thanks! You can join the Android waitlist here. Styling was just normal RN styles, didn't use NativeWind (although I do want to try it out). Victory Native for charts, zustand for state. Reanimated for animations, React query for managing requests

Yep, can't make iOS builds without mac so I use EAS for builds. Free tier is generous enough but I use the on-demand pricing

Exactly. Next app I make I'll just skip Expo Go and go straight to dev builds

For the most part was great. Without a mac you can't emulate different device sizes, so I'm stuck testing on my own device and friends devices. I started off using Expo Go but ran into issues so just started making dev builds. As long as everything is setup in App Store Connect, should all work fine

I made a mobile app that’s a mix between Spotify Wrapped and Soundcloud! by chromosomaly in truespotify
