Here’s what the docs say: React Native lets you build mobile apps using only JavaScript. Here’s what I’ll be building in this story: Todo AppĬheck out the app on snack or on expo. I’ll be using ReactiveSearch Native, an open-source library which provides React Native UI components and simplifies building data-driven apps. In this story I’ll be building a todo app with one of the most popular mobile frameworks, React Native. If you like these two apps, you might also want to take a look at BBL's companion timer app, BFT-Bear Focus Timer.A todo app touches on all the important parts of building any data-driven app, including the Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) operations. We were surprised to discover that BBL and Blink (mentioned above) are from the same developer. That's a pleasant touch to a pleasing app! See that bird sitting atop the bear's head? Tap on the musical notes flowing out of the bird's beak to trigger ambient sounds. Tap on the arrow icon above the bear's head to reveal the cloud backup option.

The app's main screen comes with a cute bear illustration that hides a few more settings. (Since you can't rearrange items in BBL, we recommend starting off with the least important task while creating your to-do list.)

Why not use the app for creating your daily to-do list? It's perfect for the simple approach we have in mind.īBL lets you create, edit, delete items, and cross them off your list. You can create lists for everything from the movies you want to watch to the books you want to read and the places you want to visit.
