24 alternatives to My temporary email app I built in react-native in two weeks on the bus

Hi HN. I am not new to programming but very new to react-native. I thought I would share my first react-native application ever with HN for your comments. I have a day job as an enterprise developer and every day for 2 weeks I worked on my 60 minute bus ride in to work on this application from the front end to the back end. The biggest challenge was my relative inexperience with mobile development and my lack of design / ux creativity. The Android Play store submission was really easy however the Apple App Store submission took about 3 versions before it was accepted. Link to app on…

    I've been a React Native developer since 2018, and I've built a whole lot of products with it. I know how hard it is for newcomers (and pros) to build an app, get it approved and actually attract users. It's so easy to get bogged down in confusing documentation and 3rd party dependency fluff. The good news for you: I've read every different push notification service/auth provider/etc's documentation and made informed choices, so you don't have to! I've made HyperFast (https://hyperfa.st), a service which includes: - A boilerplate to get you up and running (hyper) fast -…

    Hey HN. I'm a developer and solopreneur. Few months ago I realized I was doing the same thing over and over again: set up onboarding flow, user authentication, payments, connect a DB... So I built ExpoShip for 3 reasons: 1. Save Time and focus on what matters: building a business. 2. Avoid headaches like setting up authentication or handling in-app payments. 3. Get profitable fast. I hope this boilerplate will be as helpful to you as it is for me. Would love your feedback. Rudolfs

    I wanted to get two things from building an App 1) I wanted to learn how to build and deploy an app with react-native and google cloud. 2) Also, I recently purchased an item in a department store and gave my personal email address and I received my receipt as expected. But I also received a load of emails about promotions over the coming weeks which cluttered my inbox.
