surprisingly easy to learn so far but there's a lot of work to do. The initial app will be very bare bones.

Yeah I've been avoiding learning REACT. So many libraries. frameworks and languages etc. in the web dev game. I miss the days when all you needed was HTML CSS and Javascript/JQuery to do most anything. Heck I'm old enough to remember getting pissy that I had to learn CSS.
CSS was unironically one of the hardest things to learn. Mostly because it's just memorization. Been a webdev for 13 years now so of course it just comes naturally these days but back then I had to try to learn it like 3 times before it stuck.
I held out for so long, just refusing to give up my precious HTML attributes. I was all like, "But HTML is so simple, why do we need to complicate this?" totally not hearing that whole separate layout from style argument. Now it's like the back of my hand but in those web 1.0 days I was a salty HTML curmudgeon.
the one time I used react native I said, wow. this sure is reactive and native
If you build it they will come
went through the same thing as you, had Laravel server rendered application and business wanted a RN app, so I had to build a bunch of APIs and implement the app.
but yeah, for React Native I'd strongly suggest using Expo because it adds an API layer to customize native features (such as permissions, app icons, etc) without having to manually change it in a bare RN application, which also allow for much easier upgrades. If you're feeling adventurous, I'd suggest trying out the Expo Router which builds on top on React Navigation and uses file-based routing kind of like Next.js app directory.
this is basically exactly what I’m doing. Do you mind adding me on discord if I have any questions? Pretty rare to find someone intimately familiar with my stack
sure thing, my discord username is the same as this username
why don't you try first building a PWA?
