React Native Heroes 2024

From zero to ranking in 3 months
2024-05-31 , Auditorium

In Belka we built a React Native app in 3 months that ranked in top 5 on App Store in the entertainment category, among the most downloaded apps in Italy.
We had a strict deadline and we did everything in our power to not miss it.
I'm going to talk about how we used Expo and Supabase to build the app faster and with its own database. Without these two technologies we would probably never have finished it in time.
In such a small amount of time organisation and communication is the key. I’ll give some tips regarding on how prioritise feature and on how to led the communication with the client.
We turned a three-months-deadline nightmare into a very ambitious work.

My name is Federica and I live in a small town in the north of Italy with my bunny. I’m a software engineer at Belka, a digital product studio based in the Italian Alps. I develop websites and mobile apps using React and React Native. When I am not coding, you can find me reading, overanalyzing things or taking long walks.
