Project highlights

  1. Shared TS Domain: Types and API client are written once and consumed identically on iOS and Android, illustrating how a TypeScript core eliminates the dual-platform translation tax.

  2. UI/UX Polish: The app emphasizes the small things — skeleton states, touch feedback, list virtualization — that separate a production-quality mobile build from a quick prototype.

  3. Recruiter-Ready Sample: Built specifically to prove React Native + UI/UX skills end-to-end, useful as a self-contained sample for recruiters evaluating mobile fluency.
