Project
TransAlt App
Plan
The idea for a phone app was one that the team had kicked around for a few years, but the main problem was that we didn’t have enough content to push to the app. However, once the blog began to be regularly updated, the idea resurfaced again.
Development
I set out to build a cross-platform app using React Native, having built a few web apps using vanilla React.
Development
The build system definitely took some getting used to—Gradle and Cocoapods were terra incognita, but the app came together in a few months.
Launch
The app launched in 2018.
