I built a React Native boilerplate to ship mobile apps faster

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

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. 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…

  • InstantDB – A Modern Firebase▲1,145

    Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
