Exploring mobile app development with React Native.
Aora is a React Native application developed as part of a YouTube tutorial series to understand mobile application development, responsive UI design, navigation handling, and cross-platform app architecture.
Visit WebsiteAs I expanded my frontend development skills beyond web applications, I wanted to gain hands-on experience in mobile app development. While I was comfortable building web interfaces with React, I had limited knowledge of React Native, mobile navigation patterns, responsive mobile layouts, and cross-platform application development. I needed a practical project that would help me understand how modern mobile applications are structured and deployed.
To accelerate my learning, I built Aora by following a React Native tutorial series and extending my understanding through practical implementation. The project allowed me to explore React Native fundamentals, Expo-based development workflows, Appwrite integration, mobile navigation, responsive UI design, and cross-platform application architecture. Through this project, I gained valuable experience in building mobile-first user experiences and understanding the differences between web and mobile development.
Outcome:
Aora served as my introduction to mobile application development and helped me transition from web-focused development to cross-platform mobile engineering. The project strengthened my understanding of React Native, Expo, mobile UI patterns, navigation systems, and backend integration, providing a solid foundation for building production-ready mobile applications in the future.
