Show HN: My team built a social recycling application with React Native

My team and I completed this project as part of our capstone at Fullstack Academy of Code. Developing a cross platform application in React Native was an amazing learning experience. My team and I learned about the challenges of developing for both Android and IOS. Something as simple as displaying the keyboard for form input challenged us in unexpected ways(different keyboards with different size displays). We tried to solve this problem by using relative dimensions for the vertical offsets in our Keyboard avoiding views. This was an incomplete solution to the keyboard problem but it taught me to prioritize work based on what is required by your deadlines. We had roughly two weeks to build this project from start to finish and it is really a testament to the React Native platform that we were able to almost seamlessly translate our knowledge of React into building a mobile application.
