React Native Starter

A minimal React Native starter template designed to help you get comfortable using an AI agent to build mobile apps. Make changes, see them live, and learn by doing.

Getting Started

Install dependencies:

npm install

Start the development server:

npx expo start

This will open the Expo developer tools. From there you can run the app on:

• Your physical device using Expo Go
• Android emulator
• iOS simulator

Project Structure

app/
  (tabs)/
    _layout.tsx    # Tab navigation setup
    index.tsx      # Home screen
    profile.tsx    # Profile screen
lib/
  theme.ts         # Colors, typography, spacing
assets/
  images/          # App images

Using with an AI Agent

This template is intentionally simple. Ask your AI agent to:

• Add new screens or components
• Change colors or styling in lib/theme.ts
• Add new tabs to the navigation
• Integrate APIs or add features

Watch your changes appear live as you iterate. This is a playground—experiment freely.
