Just joined Contra and excited to be here and connect with other builders! π
One of the projects I recently worked on was a white-labeled React Native mobile app based on the open-source Rocket.Chat project.
I forked the React Native codebase, customized it for a new product, and handled the configuration required to connect it with a self-hosted Rocket.Chat server. βοΈ
One of the more interesting parts was getting push notifications working correctly with the self-hosted setup, including the required mobile configuration and deployment steps. π
The app is now live on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. π
A nice reminder that taking an existing open-source project and turning it into a production-ready, branded product often involves much more than changing the UI.
Excited to share more projects and lessons learned here on Contra! β¨
Huge congratulations on hitting the $10k milestone! π Truly inspiring to see whatβs possible on Contra.
I joined Contra just about a month ago as a full-stack developer. Iβve set up my services and published a few case studies, but I'm constantly learning how to optimize my presence here.
If you could look back at your early days, whatβs the #1 thing you did that moved the needle for your profile visibility and landing initial inbound clients?
I joined Contra a while ago without really knowing what to expect, and itβs been really nice to see it gradually become a place where Iβve met great clients and worked on projects I genuinely love.
