My role

Full-Stack Developer · React Native & Node.js

  • Built the React Native app for iOS and Android from a single codebase with a consistent design on both platforms.
  • Diagnosed and re-engineered audio playback handling, improving stability by 90%.
  • Built the Node.js, MySQL and Socket.IO backend powering the real-time community features.
  • Managed App Store and Google Play releases.
The challenge

The Family Wins supports families through separation, emotional strain and reconciliation. It needed iOS and Android apps quickly and on a tight budget.

Audio is central to its community features, so playback had to be smooth and reliable.

The solution

A single React Native app shipping to both stores, cost-efficient development patterns, and dedicated work on audio handling to fix the playback issues hurting the experience.

01

One codebase, two stores

React Native delivered iOS and Android together at half the native cost.

02

Reliable audio

Optimised audio handling made playback 90% more stable.

03

Real-time community

Socket.IO-powered features connect members worldwide.

The results
  • Fully functional iOS and Android apps delivered on a tight budget.
  • Development cost 50% less than building two native apps.
  • Critical audio issues fixed, with stability improved by 90%.
