A story on starting an app with React Native to publishing on App Store

[zinx]

Hi , I’m Rishi(https://twitter.com/thelifeofrishi), before quarantine I didn’t know anything about react native. I was familiar with react though. I started working on this diary app which I started just for practicing native. I never thought to publish it considering my track record of abandoned side projects and I thought I would just learn from it. Where it went real crazy is when I started to write code, React native and then being able to use tailwind with RN, it got me so interested I started working on the project taking PTO from my actual work sometimes.

3 or so months later, today I released the app on AppStore and planning to release it for Android too.

About the app: it is a diary app, lets you write diary entries through text or voice recorded entries. I’m a designer so I’ve did my good to make sure it looks good.

PS: Thanks RN and Expo team for making apps easier for us.
