I've been a React Native developer since 2018, and I've built a whole lot of products with it. I know how hard it is for newcomers (and pros) to build an app, get it approved and actually attract users. It's so easy to get bogged down in confusing documentation and 3rd party dependency fluff.<p>The good news for you: I've read every different push notification service/auth provider/etc's documentation and made informed choices, so you don't have to!<p>I've made HyperFast (<a href="https://hyperfa.st" rel="nofollow">https://hyperfa.st</a>), a service which includes:<p>- A boilerplate to get you up and running (hyper) fast<p>- Solid documentation that tells guides you along the various steps with developing, building, submitting and launching an app<p>- Detailed documentation on the ins-and-outs of the Google Play Store and iOS App Store<p>- (a big one) lots of advice on MVP app principles, how to not overthink it, what information to put on various screens, things like that<p>- (another big one) very opinionated advice on services to use, UX paths to go down and decisions made for you so you don't get bogged down in swathes of documentation<p>- A community of developers on a similar app-building path to help you out whenever you need (including me, currently at your beck and call during Australian awake hours!)<p>My promise is: buying HyperFast will save you - at the VERY least - your hourly rate x the hours you'd spend setting up a React Native app from scratch.<p>The service is in its infancy at the moment so I'm offering a hefty discount for new signups. Would love for you to check it out and would love some feedback.
These time estimates seem excessive. 8 hours to “set up the environment”?<p>Also, doesn’t Expo already offer most of these boilerplates for free?<p>Edit: Not to mention that Expo handles most of the heavy lifting for each of these items (e.g publishing to app stores). What are customers paying for that they cannot easily get for free from the Expo team?
congrats on launching and putting something out there. I know it isn't easy and I'm sure you've worked long and hard on the product and on the page<p>so I thought I'd offer some (solicited?) feedback:<p>* $169 for "starter projects" down from $369 feels like something I don't even want to try out. I don't know if you're trying to make the upsell to $199 easier to digest, but I got sticker shock from a 3 digit number for a starter project. I can host stuff online today for $0 on starter plans and you're charging nearly $200. then you say "The average senior React Native developer charges $120/hour." in relatively small print which I only read after I started proofreading this comment. as a solo founder, I don't pay any react native developers. I'm a full-stack company on my own, so I'm saving wherever I can<p>* exactly <i>how</i> is this better than just using Expo or something like Flutter or SwiftUI? the fact that you can "fetch from an API" shouldn't be a selling point on your one screenshot -- that's a given these days<p>* I don't even know what this does other than for some vague marketing words on the page. if you're expecting users to take your word for it and sign up, I think that's going to be tough. at a minimum you ought to show a video of what this does<p>you're claiming the experience with HyperFast is better than alternatives. prove it. then prove to me that it is better by $169 dollars, because SwiftUI, Flutter, and regular React Native are all free
Looks interesting. I think your site is missing some information.<p>What auth service does it use?<p>What BaaS does it use?<p>How easy is to publish to the Apple and Android stores?<p>Can I also make a website out of it or just mobile?<p>It would be great to see some code snippets. If I'm buying this (which I might), I'm someone who doesn't know much. I'd love to see a component example. I have no idea what Expo is.<p>Just the first few thoughts that came to mind.
edit: typo<p>Looks cool. As someone who buys these things it always helps to maybe include a full working demo. IMHO I would offer a kitchen sink demo and remove the 7 day money back guarantee.
