Technologies
We used: React Native, Expo, Firebase Authentication, Firestore, Stream, Render, Node.js and Express
We wanted create a mobile app and to challenge ourselves by using new tech stacks which is why we chose to use React Native to build it, Firebase Authentication for checking users, Firestore for out Non-SQL database and Stream for our messaging.
Challenges Faced
Figuring out how to resolve merge conflicts when multiple people are working together.
Cleaning out the database from old unusable data.
Integrating Stream into the app which caused many issues.
Generating and sending authentication tokens to the backend for the database.
Learning how to go from documentation to functionality in app.
