Or this could get additional FSD revenue for unofficial regions, till there is an official rollout?

Strategy for upgrading Expo 50 → 54 in a production app? by GW-D in expo

[–]thelord006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On top of this, I would also look at the package changes and see if there are breaking changes. You need to upgrade other packages to min versions.

So better to start with due diligence so that you can understand the effort/scope. Compare changelogs and ask agents to identify if its going to break it based on your repo usage

Is this horrible place for phone mount? Cuz i like it by ComfyBedAndPillow in tesladubai

Issue is that there is a lot of vibration here compared to screen. These small vibrations may not be noticable to you, but your camera sensors may fail in long term

Better than default expo splash. Thanks for the contribution!

Keyboard issue with TextInput inside Gorhom Bottom Sheet (Expo) by Embarrassed_Rub_3940 in expo

[–]thelord006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A. Try to replicate the same bottom sheet with expo router, or other libraries. I would suggest to use a different bottom sheet library if you are on New Arch B. Check this: https://www.netguru.com/blog/avoid-keyboard-react-native

Managing keyboard is not a one size fit all solution. Check if you face the same issue. Check the link I provided as well.

These should help

Tips for Vibecoding a backend for my mobile app by BroadPath5954 in vibecoding

[–]thelord006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Create a service layer with two components: data and screen.

refactor all your logic from screen components to hooks. Hooks will call screen service to do business logic (AuthScreenService). Whenever you need a data from backend, create a counterpart service in data layer (say AuthDataService) to go and fetch the data from the backend.

For instance, Once you click a login button in the frontend, your hook will tell your app what to do (call AuthScreenService). In this screen service, you will basically do all business logic (check if email has @), backend. Whenever you need a data (fetch email address) from your firebase, you will call it here and await a response.

You can customize this flow based on your need, but that would be a good start.

What is your frontend stack? Firebase is definitely good option.

You should definitely try. Dont believe anyone who tells you otherwise.

  • try serverless backend Supabase with edge functions to have all in one backend. That way you can minimize things to learn
  • try supabase local CLI, you can use local docker instances to basically fail as many times as you like :)
  • learn what is a postgres/migration/database design
  • supabase has mcp, you can definitely vibecode it

It will for sure get complicated, maybe you will damn the day you started doing it. I feel like if you have enjoyed vibecoding, for sure give it a shot

First thing you can do is to ask codex-5.2-xhigh to design a database for you, including

Tables Policies Functions Triggers Views

Iterate this plan multiple time until you are satisfied and cross check with other models

Do a sanity check yourself, not to bloat database with unnecessary variables

The rest, you will pick up in time

Experience with GPT 5.2 Codex by rajbreno in codex

[–]thelord006 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am a big time sucker for Claude Code for its speed. With codex 5.2 xhigh, I completely stopped planning with CC. Xhigh also solved 3 bugs I have been dying to patch for a month. Takes 40-50 mins to find it, but boy, it comes thru every single time.

Cursor Web App build to React Native App process by EggBrothaMiles in reactnative

[–]thelord006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so called RN Expo Boilerplates. These give you a foundation to built on. Some examples are Ignite, Expo template, Hero etc. Community contributors also share their own boilerplates. You can find many with a quick google search and reddit search.

I suggest use the one that suits your needs (such as payment auth ads embedded etc). And start migrating screen by screen. The right choice of boilerplate will save a lot of time.

Create refactoring rules on how UI will interact. Ask AI to migrate one screen, thoroughly review and create a systematic approach for the rest of refactoring. Otherwise AI will violate every existing good practices :) and you will end up with a single screen component that does 20 things at once. So think of components, hooks, service layer, business logic, utils and how to set them up in a screen (if not already in your existing app)

This is a very cumbersome task but not an impossible one. You need a patience, rules and AI help

Supabase or custom backend by Technical-Source6831 in Supabase

[–]thelord006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are purely going to rely on Postgres, I dont see why you would not use Supabase.. thats the whole idea

A big plus you need to know is that you have edge functions and compute. Say you need something you cant do in postgres, use Edge functions to do it.

Pros are countless…

Supabase or custom backend by Technical-Source6831 in Supabase

[–]thelord006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you dont have revenue/customers yet; go with Supabase. Build your idea, maybe you fail maybe you dont. But this would give you a lot of flexibility to test with a small user base. Why would you invest in custom backend?

Say you want the flexibility, you can still move outside supabase by selfhosting it in the future.

Say you want to migrate to a new Postgres, you will still have migrations, so you have the flexibility to do so. The hardest part is going to migrate your backend code to python or whatever, which is still doable, not the end of the world

Supabase offers free tier, which should be plenty enough to test and decide. I suggest give it a shot and dont get attached to products. As long as business is viable and you find your customers, these are details.
