Adulting is Hard
This project was the result of a six week sprint during the buildspace Nights and Weekends Season two cohort. It's an app to help you navigate the complexities of adulting and live a better life. As someone who has struggled with adulting myself, I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to stay on top of all the tasks and responsibilities that come with being an adult. That's why I created this app - to provide a convenient, reliable way for people to get organized and stay on top of their adult responsibilities.
This was SUCH a fun project for me, I learned all about mobile app development using React Native and Expo, and it was a blast learning to think differently by building mobile apps.

Learnings
- React Native isn't much different than React, I was up and running with it within a few days.
- Despite the similarities, some things are much harder with React Native, like push notifications, builds, testing and animations.
- Creating a full featured IOS app is a lot of effort, but possible within six weeks!
- Mobile Development is a vastly different experience than building web applications.
- Expo is a brilliant platform. There was always some sort of Expo feature that would solve my problems along the way.
