RWCBM Mobile
React Native companion app
The phone client for RWCBM. Same members, same database, same API — five tabs, deep links, and push notifications, built on Expo so one codebase ships to both stores.

The problem
The web app worked, but the members using it are contractors and business owners who are rarely at a desk. A directory you check between job sites has to be an app.
What got built
Expo with file-based routing through Expo Router, sharing the web app's Clerk instance so credentials carry over with no second sign-up. Tokens cache in the device Keychain and Keystore via expo-secure-store. Sentry is wired for crash reporting and expo-updates handles over-the-air releases without a store round trip.
Details worth naming
- Five tabs — feed, groups, messages, notifications, and search — against the existing web API.
- Shared Clerk authentication: a member who signs up on the web logs straight in on mobile.
- Deep links open a specific chapter or direct-message thread from anywhere in the app.
- Secure token storage in the native Keychain and Keystore, with over-the-air updates via expo-updates.
