Hey everyone,

​I'm completely new to React Native. By profession, I'm a backend engineer, so my frontend skills are definitely on the weaker side.

​I’m currently building a marketplace app and need to display various service providers (think tailor listings, product information cards, contact sections, buttons with icons, etc.). Writing raw inline styles and complex StyleSheet objects from scratch is making my codebase look messy, and honestly, it’s slowing me down a lot.

​Are there any reliable external UI or component libraries you'd recommend that offer pre-built components like cards and buttons out of the box? I’d love something that feels clean, modern, and developer-friendly without requiring me to reinvent the wheel for standard layouts.

​Looking forward to hearing your recommendations and what has worked well for your projects!

​Cheers! 🥂

Hey everyone,

​I’m a Hyderabad-based software engineer looking to dive deeper into mobile app development. I’m currently building an app, but I have the bandwidth to take on a new, high-potential project.

​If you have a solid startup or product idea in the ideation phase and need a technical co-founder to build the mobile MVP, I’m available to work on a pure equity basis.

​What I’m looking for:

​A genuine, well-thought-out idea with a clear problem it's solving.

​A co-founder who is ready to handle the business, marketing, or domain-specific side of things while I handle the tech.

​If you're serious about your idea and want to chat, shoot me a DM with a brief overview of your concept and where you're currently at with it!

​PS: Bonus points if you are also based out of Hyderabad for easier collaboration, but open to remote for the right idea

My mom nowadays is browsing matrimony apps like shaadi[dot]com and iitiimshaadi finding a groom for my sister and of course she's looking for a govt job guy. The other day she came to me and said "you should build a matrimony app but only for people in govt. jobs, basically iitiimshaadi but for govt. jobs". Does anyone here think this could turn into something profitable? I'm a tech person, if you think this could turn into a profitable idea let's talk, I'll build and you do the business.

Cheers! 🥂

Hey everyone,

I’m moving from web development with SvelteKit over to mobile with React Native, and I’m trying to figure out how to replicate a specific architecture I've grown to love.

In SvelteKit, +page.server.js is incredible. Because it runs on a server, it connects directly to the database at datacenter speeds, safely hides API secrets, and trims heavy database rows into tiny payloads before anything ever hits the user's browser.

But in React Native, everything runs entirely client-side on the user's physical phone. There is no built-in server-load file for screens.

I have two questions for mobile devs:

1. Why is this a web-only thing? Why can web frameworks spin up these layout-level server boundaries so seamlessly, while mobile apps are inherently pure client-side bundles?
2. How do you replicate this in RN? If I want that exact same setup—keeping DB keys off the phone, doing heavy lifting in the cloud, and sending trimmed, lightweight data over shaky cellular networks—what does your architecture look like? Are you spinning up middleware layers, using something like Supabase/ Edge Functions, or just hitting standard REST endpoints?

Would love to hear how you guys structure your mobile data-fetching layers to get that same clean, secure server-side performance!

Hey everyone,

My employment bond just concluded at my previous firm, and I am currently navigating my notice period. I am looking to invest my time, energy, and technical skills into a high-potential project or early-stage startup.

Because I am primarily focused on expanding my product-development portfolio right now, I am completely fine working without pay (equity-only or purely collaborative for an MVP phase) until I land my next long-term role. I want to build things that solve real user problems.

🛠️ My Tech Stack

Backend: Golang, Node.js

Mobile: React Native

Frontend/Full-Stack: SvelteKit

Database & Tools: Supabase, Docker, PostgreSQL

Specialties: RESTful APIs, mobile app development, high-availability architecture, data validation, and secure integration middleware.

💼 Experience & What I Bring to the Table

3 Years of Enterprise Experience: I have spent the last 3 years working in the intense, high-stakes banking domain, managing API Connect and DataPower gateway infrastructures for major financial institutions. I am deeply familiar with building robust, secure architectures that handle data validation and strict compliance under high-volume pressure.

Product-Minded Builder (Web + Mobile): I don’t just write code based on tickets; I build full products. In my personal time, I’ve designed, architected, and built out several MVPs from scratch across web and mobile. These include StitchDash (a React Native mobile platform connecting users with local service providers), Launchpad (a specialized onboarding and waitlist management tool for early-stage startups), and Travelio (a travel management platform I migrated to Go for optimal performance).

Production Grit: Having handled critical production support, I know what it takes to build software that doesn't break at 3 AM.

🤝 What I’m Looking For

I am looking to partner with a non-technical or product-focused founder who has a clearly defined, validated idea or an existing user base and needs an engineer to turn it into a high-performance, production-ready product—whether that's a robust backend web platform or a cross-platform mobile app.

I can dedicate significant hours immediately to get your MVP off the ground, handle system architecture, and set up your deployment pipeline.

If you are building something exciting and need a technical partner who is ready to grind, let’s jump on a quick call. Drop me a DM with a brief overview of what you’re working on.

Hey guys, i was wondering if in modern backends written in golang, is mux being used for routing or is there something new?
