Contributions

We're happy about any contributions. I'm not the biggest React Native expert, and this was actually the first app I've properly launched, so I'm sure seasoned veterans could find plenty of improvements or bugs.

How to contribute

• Read up on the expo docs if you're not familiar with the prerequisites of running a React Native Expo project locally.

• Use npx expo i and npx expo start to start a local build for IOS or Android.
