HCB Mobile – financial app built by 17 y/o, processing $6M/monthDec 2025 · hackclub.com · ▲176Hey everyone! I just built a mobile app using Expo (React Native) for a platform that moves $6M/month.

But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
