React Native + Expo Templates That Just Work

I’ve been doing front-end development since the dark ages of IE5. Mostly working on web apps for most of the time I found working on mobile Apps a very refreshing change. When i discovered React Native, Expo and Nativewind i fell in love with it and jumped into it full on and created templates that i can use as a base for almost any project.

https://www.native-templates.com/

I was always re-creating same flows, components and screens over and over again, especially:

Setting up onboardings
Styling forms
Handling theme toggles, product variants, and reusable layouts
Checkout logic
Adding/Removing products, services, posts, etc..
Everything has to look great in dark mode of course

The templates are built with:

Expo
React Native
NativeWind
TypeScript

I’ve been struggling to find well-designed starter templates for apps and thought it would be great to do them myself and share them with the world. You can check live Expo go demos on the website.

I’ve commited to add 1–2 template every month, and will do my best to do so. This is my first ever side project, so very curious how it turns out.
