Date Calculator is a sleek mobile app built using Anything, a new platform that lets creators build React Native apps visually — without giving up flexibility. The goal was simple: create a fast, elegant way to calculate how many days remain until a specific date (or between two dates) while keeping the interface clean, intuitive, and modern.

Anything is a creative development tool that bridges design and code. It enables creators to design, prototype, and publish full React Native apps visually — while still giving access to custom components, logic, and animations through React. It’s built for designers and developers who want to ship faster without sacrificing control.

With its drag-and-drop editor, real-time preview, and code-level extensibility, Anything allows apps to move from idea to store-ready build in record time.

The creation process for Date Calculator followed a simple structure:

Concept & UX: The app was designed around a single interaction: selecting a date and seeing the remaining days instantly. The challenge was to create an experience that feels calm, focused, and delightful to use.

Design in Anything: Using Anything’s visual builder, the layout was crafted with dark-mode aesthetics and subtle red accents to highlight the active date and results. Components like calendars, toggles, and navigation tabs were all customized using Anything’s built-in styling system.

Adding Logic: Anything’s logic editor made it easy to connect date inputs, calculate the difference between two dates, and display results dynamically — all powered by React Native under the hood.

Testing on Device: Real-time previewing in the Anything mobile app allowed for instant iteration and refinement, ensuring smooth interactions and pixel-perfect spacing.

Final Polish: Small touches like smooth transitions, custom typography, and minimal iconography helped elevate the experience to something that feels native and intentional.

A compact utility app that delivers exactly what it promises — clarity in counting time.

Users can toggle between two modes:

Days until a date (e.g., a trip, event, or goal)

Days between two dates for planning, productivity, or scheduling

The interface stays minimal: no clutter, no unnecessary options — just focus and precision.

Building with Anything demonstrated how far modern no-code/low-code platforms have evolved. By combining visual design freedom with code-level depth, the platform empowers creators to go from concept to fully functional React Native apps in hours, not weeks.

For me, Date Calculator was both an experiment and a showcase of how fast ideas can come to life when design and code coexist seamlessly.
