Recently I have switched to react-native because of my office project which needed to develop an app for both platform. From the day I stared to learn react-native framework, I was not that impressed with it but when I become used to it I fall in love with the process and decided to make an app for myself because being a app developer I didn’t have any app on the app store or on play store. I still remeber the day I got the idea to make app, I decided to keep the theme of the app very simple which will only have two or three colour like black, blue and white.
So the IDEA, its not the out of the box thinking, I explored a site which provides free news API to use by name NEWSAPI, so I stared to work on the app. Its a simple app which will fetch news and display on screen, we will be having heading, short description, link of the news , like where it came from. Thats what the api provides us with. Also you can have option to choose your country and the category of the news you want to see, the API also provides news from perticular famous newspapers.
I decide this will be the good project to work on as my first app to be. When I was woking on my office project i explored a libray in react-native by name LinearGradient, I am a fan of gradients so decide to use this library as my backdrop screen of the app, which will give my app a gradient, dark look to it.So this how the First screen was looking when I run the app on my IOS simulator.
So the name of the app will be NewsMe, its simple and rememberable. I have this habit to use “me” word like i have my Instagram account by name asblackaswhiteme. So in the next blog I’ll be sharing layout of the app with you guys, how many screen app will have, what navigation I have used and why, what features user will have with the app. So yeah. Byee, have a good day. Peace.
