One thing I learned migrating a mobile product from a WebView MVP to React Native: the hardest problems usually aren't the screens.
On Beepr, the real blockers were background execution, geolocation reliability, push notifications, slow geospatial queries, and backend logic that had grown without a clear audit trail.
I led the migration to React Native with Supabase, PostgreSQL, PostGIS, and native background capabilities. I also audited 51 Supabase Edge Functions and designed a zero-downtime cutover so the product could keep serving users during the transition.
The takeaway: before rebuilding a mobile app, find out which problems are architectural and which are merely visual. A prettier interface won't fix unreliable background services, weak location enforcement, or slow queries.
Curious what other teams have found when moving from a WebView-based MVP to a production mobile app. 8:58

I have been quite behind on maintaining my LinkedIn page (will update soon). Still, I wanted to give a quick shoutout to Sergio Pereyra and Clariana Abreu, two software engineers I have worked closely with over the last several months to bring a technical project of mine to life. They both demonstrate a degree of professionalism and expertise within their field that far exceeded my expectations. If you are seeking technical services for a personal project or for your company, I highly recommend their services; I certainly will be working with them again. Be on the lookout for updates on Beepr as we are entering an exciting new phase of development.
