Successful rapid prototyping with React Native
summary
Claim: React Native is the fastest practical way to validate mobile product hypotheses by building three prototypes — sleep data views, coaching content, and a gamified sleep competition — and testing them with users including a pilot at the largest life insurance company in Finland. Tools used: React Native Paper, CodePush and Expo, Firebase remote config, App Center analytics and AWS Amplify analytics. A weekend bug fix ships via CodePush, a touchable wrapper hack reveals misplaced expectations, and previous experience includes 70 hackathons with ~40 wins.
