Hey everyone! I just built a mobile app using Expo (React Native) for a platform that moves $6M&#x2F;month. It’s a neobank used by 6,500+ nonprofit organizations across the world.One of my biggest challenges, while juggling being a full-time student, was getting permission from Apple&#x2F;Google to use advanced native features such as Tap to Pay (for in-person donations) and Push Provisioning (for adding your card to your digital wallet). It was months of back-and-forth emails, test case recordings, and also compliance checks.Even after securing Apple&#x2F;Google’s permission, any minor fix required publishing a new build, which was time-consuming. After dealing with this for a while, I adopted the idea of “over the air updates” using Expo’s EAS update service. This allowed me to remotely trigger updates without needing a new app build.The 250 hours I spent building this app were an INSANE learning experience, but it was also a whole lot of fun. Give the app a try, and I’d love any feedback you have on it!btw, back in March, we open-sourced this nonprofit neobank on GitHub.

Hey everyone,I&#x27;ve just published my first app to the App Store. And it is (yet another) Hacker News Client.The app is built with Expo&#x2F;React Native, making the most of native iOS features like liquid glass, native tabs, link previews and context menus. (Android version coming soon).There is no paywall, no monetization, and no crazy features for now. I just wanted it to be pleasant and native to use. You can also log in with your HN account so you can comment an upvote.I hope you like it, and any feedback is much appreciated!Links:- GitHub: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;danielcspaiva&#x2F;hacker-reader" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;danielcspaiva&#x2F;hacker-reader</a>

Mental arithmetic has been a hobby of mine for a while. It&#x27;s fun and good exercise for your brain.When I switched to iOS, I couldn’t find a decent app. Most had ads, sign-ups, excessive gamification, or mandatory subscriptions, and none were customizable enough. So I built my own.Athena Math lets you- Practice operations not normally found in mental math apps: modulo, square roots, percents, GCD and LCM
- Tailor each session: set your time or problem limits, choose digit ranges (1–5), mix digit lengths (e.g. 55 + 436), and select any combination of operations you like.
- A detailed stats screen that shows the time you spent on problems, problems per day, percent correct, etc. All graphs are filterable.
- A history screen that shows all your sessions.
- You can import and export your history for offline analysis or to transfer
- Offline tutorials are included for all operations
- Lastly, you can use it immediately. There are no accounts.So far, it&#x27;s received a positive response from the mental math community. It&#x27;s an incredible feeling to have people actually value my work enough to pay for it. (This was my first app).I&#x27;ve had a lot of fun building Athena math and using it myself. Practicing obscure operations like GCD, LCM and square roots has taught me to see patterns in numbers that I didn&#x27;t see before. Overall, it&#x27;s improved my number sense.It&#x27;s built in React Native + Expo&#x2F;EAS. I use Fastlane to manage app store metadata (and store in version control), and it&#x27;s using a serverless AWS backend for payment verification. History is stored locally in an SQLite database.It&#x27;s free to use! You&#x27;re limited to 12 sessions daily, but if you wanna keep using for free, you can simply delete your daily sessions. You loose history and stats, but it&#x27;s an option. You can also just set the time limit to infinity.I know mental math is not the sexiest market, but I&#x27;d love feedback from the HN community -- on the app, the UX, or the technical setup. Any ideas for improvement? What are your thoughts?Thanks for reading and happy hacking!

Hey HN — I&#x27;m David, and I built Photerra to solve a problem I kept running into: planning trips meant juggling dozens of browser tabs, Google Sheets, and the same recycled &quot;top 10&quot; lists everyone else sees.Photerra turns geolocated photos into map spots you can organize into trips, share with friends, and book from — all in one flow.The core idea: photos with GPS → actual spots on a map → drag into trip days → share → book.What makes Photerra different:• Real locations, not just POIs — Your photos have EXIF GPS data, so you&#x27;re adding exact spots (that actual spot on the trail, not just “Yosemite” - no address needed).• End-to-end flow — Discover → plan → coordinate → book, without switching between 5 apps.• Photo-grounded data — Community spots come from real photos, not scraped listicles, so you find more off-path places.• Works for everyday wandering — Not just big trips. Save local spots and open them in Maps or Uber with one tap.Try it: iOS and Android apps are live (links in comments). I&#x27;ve seeded content in SF, Portland, LA, San Diego, Hawaii, Philly, Yosemite, and Mexico City.Tech: React Native + RN-Maps on mobile; NestJS + TypeORM&#x2F;MySQL + AWS on backend.What I&#x27;d love feedback on:• Is the photo→spot→trip flow intuitive on first use?• What&#x27;s missing to make this truly start-to-finish for your trips?• Any friction in auth, maps, or sharing?Be blunt — it&#x27;s helpful. Happy to answer questions!— David (solo, first-time founder)

Hey!I’m the creator of GoClimbr. I’m a software engineer and climber, and for years I tracked every route in notebooks, notes apps and spreadsheets (a big, frustrating mess).I thought that an app could provide a better way to organize and visualize my climbing data, safely back it up, and make it easier to extract useful insights from it (performance, consistency, volume, grade progression, etc.)Tech Stack: It’s built with React Native &#x2F; Expo (so both iOS and Android), backed by Firebase.I’m looking for some feedback from fellow climbers. How do you log your routes? What kind of information do you track?You can try it out here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;goclimbr.com&#x2F;share" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;goclimbr.com&#x2F;share</a>Thanks!

I made an app idea generator called What to Build Next that gives you inspiration for business&#x2F;learning&#x2F;personal projects.I got this idea after working on some projects and needing inspiration for a new mobile app to practice working with animation in React Native.You can enter your intention (business, learning, trend, personal), an industry, and your preferred tech stack. This will serve you several web&#x2F;mobile app ideas.Hopefully the tool can help more developers just start coding instead of dreaming.

88% of business cards are thrown away within a week.The average professional collects 200+ business cards per year. That&#x27;s 176 contacts lost. If even 10% could&#x27;ve been valuable connections, we&#x27;re talking about massive opportunity cost.I got obsessed with this problem after watching my own business card graveyard grow. Built a real-time networking platform (Yenhyia) that makes business cards irrelevant.The insight: The problem isn&#x27;t paper vs digital cards. It&#x27;s the entire networking workflow.Traditional flow:
1. Arrive at event blind
2. Random encounters
3. Awkward small talk
4. Exchange cards
5. Cards go in pocket&#x2F;wallet&#x2F;trash
6. Never follow upNew flow with Yenhyia:
1. See attendees before event (prep who to meet)
2. Match based on goals (mutual opt-in)
3. Chat starts with context (you both chose each other)
4. Meet in person (not random, intentional)
5. Digital card auto-shared in chat thread
6. Contact synced to phone, conversation history preservedThe technical interesting bits:- Built matching algorithm that weighs profile similarity, goals, and real-time proximity
- Real-time venue mapping so you can find your match in a 5,000 person conference
- Privacy-first: location data is ephemeral, deleted post-event
- One-tap QR check-in: organizers can deploy without any tech integrationWhat surprised me:1. Privacy toggle gets used A LOT. People want to control when they&#x27;re discoverable. Not everyone wants to network for 8 straight hours at a conference.2. Pre-event matching has higher engagement than on-site. People actually do their homework before showing up.3. Event organizers care more about &quot;connections made&quot; metrics than we expected. They want to prove ROI to sponsors and attendees.Tech stack: React Native, Firebase real-time DB, Node.js, serverless on Google Cloud.Launched in Ghana&#x2F;Nigeria because the professional networking ecosystem is still forming here. No legacy LinkedIn graphs, everyone&#x27;s building from scratch. Perfect test market.Questions- How would you approach matching algorithms with sparse initial data?
- Best way to handle real-time location at scale (5K+ concurrent users) without destroying battery?
- Thoughts on privacy in location-based apps? We delete everything post-event but curious about other approaches.Code isn&#x27;t open source yet but considering it for the venue mapping component.Try it: yenhyia.buzzchat.siteFeedback welcome, especially on the tech and privacy angles.

Hey HN,I&#x27;m Mark, a bootstrapped and solo founder who spent the last few years building custom mobile apps for influencers and creators in the health, finance, and wedding planning niches. The pattern I kept seeing: creators with distribution (viral content, audiences) but were under monetizing them.So I built Mozy.ai - a tool that takes you from prompt to deployed mobile application in minutes. It&#x27;s a complete browser-based IDE (goodbye XCode) for React Native&#x2F;Expo apps. Think of it like Bolt.new but specifically for mobile. You can go from idea to a deployable app without leaving your browser.What makes it different:
- User auth, database, payments, and deployment credentials all integrated
- Live preview as you build
- Production-ready code you can export, own, and deploy
- Built for founders who want to move fast on mobileI&#x27;m not quite ready to share this with friends and family yet (still feels embarrassing), but I&#x27;d love feedback from the HN community (i.e. anons). If you&#x27;re interested in testing it out, there&#x27;s a promo code &quot;FRIENDS20&quot; you can use or not - would appreciate any and all support.This is my first launch and I&#x27;m super excited about it!! Let me know what you think :))Godspeed,
Mark

- Real-time technical indicator analysis (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, EMA)
- Risk scoring and position management
- Auto-backtesting with historical data
- Live chart integration with TradingView-style interfaceWhy I built this:
Most crypto signal platforms are either:
1. Black boxes with no transparency

2. Schema.org Optimization: Added LocalBusiness + Organization markup for better Google indexing
3. Rate Limiting: Built custom rate limiter that handles 50K+ API calls&#x2F;day
4. Real-time Updates: WebSocket connections for live price &amp; signal updatesFeatures:
- Free tier: 5 signals&#x2F;day (no credit card)
- Paid tier: Unlimited signals + advanced analytics

I got frustrated with recipe websites that force you through 3,000 words about someone&#x27;s grandmother before showing the ingredients. So I built Cooky - an AI-powered recipe parser and organizer.What it does:
- Paste any recipe URL or text → AI extracts structured recipe data
- Automatically detects timers in instructions (&quot;bake for 25 minutes&quot; → countdown button)
- Scale servings up&#x2F;down with automatic ingredient recalculation
- Track your progress with checkable ingredients and stepsTech stack:
- Frontend: Expo (React Native) with TypeScript for iOS&#x2F;web
- Backend: Supabase (PostgreSQL with JSONB for flexible schema)
- AI: OpenAI GPT-4o-mini for parsing
- Deployed on VercelThe interesting technical bit: I went with a &quot;dumb scraper, smart parser&quot; approach. Instead of trying to handle every recipe site&#x27;s HTML structure, I just fetch the raw HTML and let GPT-4o-mini extract the recipe. It handles weird formats, handwritten recipes, even recipes pasted from emails surprisingly well.Web app: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cooky-app-ivory.vercel.app&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cooky-app-ivory.vercel.app&#x2F;</a>iOS version coming soon (currently in TestFlight)Would love feedback on the UX and what features you&#x27;d want in a recipe app!
