Developing A Cross-Platform iOS & Android Social Media App

This series will be covering how to create a cross-platform social media app using Ruby on Rails and React Native.

Introduction

In this series, I will be covering how to develop a social media app using React Native as the frontend and Ruby on Rails as the backend. Each line will be explained, and although it will be a much longer process, you will understand what each line means rather than copying and pasting blocks of code.

Note: I only work on this series outside of college and my job as they take much higher priority. Since I would like this series to be high quality, installments may be released over a longer period of time.
