Absolutely yes! The Ship React Native project structure is intentionally prepared to vibe code with Cursor, leveraging the power of AI for rapid development. The 100% TypeScript codebase with generated types makes AI-assisted coding incredibly smooth.
The project is built with React Native 0.82 using TypeScript 5.9 and Expo SDK 55, supporting both iOS (16+, iOS 26 ready) and Android (7+). Built on React 19 with the New Architecture for optimal performance. I chose React Native for its excellent developer experience, vast ecosystem, and the ability to share code across platforms.
Ship React Native is perfect for:
Pre-configured templates let you quickly enable just the features you need: image-generation, video-generation, audio-full, or the complete full-suite.
Yes! Ship React Native includes a free Next.js landing page boilerplate so you can promote your app right away.
The landing page template includes modern design, animations, responsive layout, and is ready to deploy on Vercel or Netlify.
See it in action:
Both landing pages were built using the included boilerplate.
Yes, as long as you have basic notions of programming and JavaScript.
The included documentation and tutorials will guide you step by step through everything: setting up your development environment, configuring Convex, deploying Convex Functions, and submitting to the App Store.
If you come from web development (React, Next.js, etc.), this is a perfect starting point for your mobile journey - the patterns will feel familiar.
There are several total beginner clients that have already shipped their very first mobile apps with Ship React Native.
I am an indie React Native developer, grinding all day. I regularly keep adding components and features that I use on a daily basis.
Currently on Expo SDK 55, React Native 0.82, and React 19 with the New Architecture - always staying up-to-date with the latest stable releases.
You can find me building in public on Twitter/X with updates and new features.
All updates are included for lifetime - you'll never pay again for new features.
