React Finland App - Lessons learned

on YouTube ↗08m

" summary

Built and published as the first app published to App Store and Play Store, the project uses Infinite Red boilerplate (Ignite) and uses Apollo client and lives on GitHub so contributors can run it locally. Concrete blockers include government and App Store registration delays, Android-only navigation and image crashes, and poor UX from having no designer. Lessons are to reserve realistic time for polish, avoid native ads, test across OS versions, and treat tooling and open source contributions as accelerants rather than guarantees.
