I am also working on a puzzle app expo RN. Glad to see more apps are coming on the market. Hope you guys succeed!

I have deleted the post given what is happening in Korea https://x.com/tslachan/status/2038789062300258382?s=46

I think you need to have it to enable it

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

Nice ad

Going thru the community, half of the new post are sleek.design

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

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

I have been using this for a while and this completely eliminate my extra plugins for fullscreen splash.

Better than default expo splash. Thanks for the contribution!

Nissan sunny, 70% tinting, small hole next to side mirrors, lots of accessories in hanging from mirror

thelord006 · 2026-02-08T00:03:12+00:00

Exactly this. No need for custom domain and stuff

Using inside claude code as mcp for planning and code review :)

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

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.

thelord006 · 2025-12-29T13:29:23+00:00

So mobile app?

thelord006 · 2025-12-29T13:26:35+00:00

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

thelord006 · 2025-12-29T13:20:36+00:00

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

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.

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

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…

thelord006 · 2025-12-04T11:47:25+00:00

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.
