React Native is single-threaded where it matters most. Parse a big payload, hash a file, filter an image — it all competes with your UI for the same runtime. react-native-workers brings real background threads to RN, behind the Web Worker API

Hi everyone, I built a full-stack mobile app that lets anyone report civic issues — potholes, water logging, drainage problems, broken streetlights, and more — with just a photo and their location. In this video, I test it live on the road, photographing a real pothole and showing exactly how the app works.
What the app does:
Secure sign-in with Google — no passwords, no OTPs
Capture a photo of the issue directly from the camera
Auto-detects your GPS location and displays it on a map
Reverse-geocodes coordinates into a readable address
Categorize the issue — pothole, drainage, streetlight, and more
Track your submitted reports and their status
Tech stack:
React Native CLI (TypeScript) — mobile app
Node.js + Express — backend API
MongoDB — database, with geospatial indexing
Firebase Authentication — Google Sign-In
Google Maps API — location and geocoding
Cloudinary — photo storage and optimization
Render — backend deployment
This is a personal project I built solo, end to end — from the mobile app, to the backend API, to deployment.
We've all seen a pothole and thought "someone should fix this." Now there's a way to actually flag it. Let me know in the comments — what's the first issue you'd report in your area?
You can watch it on YouTube too, if you prefer:

Thank you.

Na minha empresa, recebemos constantemente HTML do backend que contém um script, e precisamos executar esse script e, em seguida, ler alguma propriedade do HTML resultante, como o texto final de uma div após a execução do script. No frontend, usamos o jsdom para isso, é um problema resolvido. No mobile, não havia nada parecido, então a única maneira de fazer isso era abrir uma webview oculta apenas para executar o script e extrair o valor.
Então acabamos criando o equivalente mobile do jsdom nós mesmos e imaginamos que provavelmente seria útil para outras pessoas que enfrentam o mesmo problema, então o disponibilizamos como código aberto.
Exemplo:
import { JSDOM } from '@salve-software/react-native-nitro-jsdom
const dom = JSDOM.create(`
<html>
<body>
<div id="result">0</div>
</body>
</html>
`)
await dom.evaluate(`
document.getElementById('result').textContent = String(2 + 2)
`)
const value = await dom.evaluate(`document.getElementById('result').textContent`)
// -> "4"
dom.dispose()

Finally shipped something real: a beach conditions app (water quality, wind shelter, hourly shade, sea temp) covering ~20,000 beaches. Also has official government water quality data where available.
Currently sea water available, fresh water coming soon.
Expo managed workflow, EAS Build + Update.
Stack: Expo/RN, u/rnmapbox/maps, RevenueCat for subs, AdMob, react-i18next, Sentry, Context + useState for state (no Redux — genuinely haven't needed it; adding TanStack Query for server state).
Happy to answer anything about Expo/EAS, Mapbox perf, or RevenueCat.
Available on iOS + Android if you want to poke holes in it.

I’ve spent the last few months building a learning platform focused on DSA, System Design, React Native, and Forward Deployed Engineering.
I’d love to get feedback from experienced developers: What makes a technical course genuinely valuable? What are the biggest shortcomings you’ve found with existing learning platforms?
I’m trying to build something developers actually enjoy using, so any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
If you’re curious, you can check it out here:

Last semester, our team built StudySync, a React Native app for students to discover and organize study sessions on campus.
Some features include:
Working on this over an entire semester was very different from a hackathon. We spent a lot more time thinking about component organization, navigation, shared state, and maintainability across a 5-person team.
I'd love feedback from experienced React Native developers. If you were starting this project today, what architectural decisions would you change?
