What We Build
Platform Options
**Cross-Platform (React Native)** - One codebase runs on iOS and Android. Cost-effective for rapid iteration and testing user acquisition strategies. Recommended for most consumer apps. **Native iOS (Swift)** - Best performance and polish for Apple ecosystem. Choose this for apps targeting premium iOS users or requiring advanced Apple-specific features. **Native Android (Kotlin)** - Optimized for Google Play and Android devices. Best for apps with strong Android user base or requiring deep Android integration. **Our Recommendation:** Start with React Native to validate your concept and user acquisition channels. Switch to native if you reach scale and need maximum performance.
Tech Stack
**Frontend:** React Native with TypeScript for cross-platform UI and business logic **Backend:** Node.js or Python with serverless functions for scalable API endpoints **Database:** Supabase or Firebase for real-time data sync and user authentication **Push Notifications:** Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for iOS and Android delivery **Analytics:** Mixpanel or Amplitude for user behavior tracking and retention analysis **Payment Processing:** Stripe or RevenueCat for in-app purchases and subscriptions **Content Delivery:** Cloudflare CDN for fast media loading worldwide
Why Build Custom
**No-Code Limitations:** App builders like Adalo or Bubble hit walls with custom features, performance, and scalability. You're locked into their platform and pricing. **Performance Requirements:** Consumer apps need fast load times and smooth animations. Custom development optimizes every interaction. **Unique Features:** Stand out from competitors with features no-code platforms can't support - custom animations, advanced personalization, or unique social mechanics. **Full Ownership:** Own your codebase completely. No monthly platform fees. Freedom to pivot, add features, or change providers.
