Challenges Faced

This is my first project developing a mobile application before this, I worked in React environment and thus chose to explore some of React Native this time. While working I have gone with a lot of docs which I thought were not as proper as Reactjs for the web there are a lot of external libraries that need to be installed for every functionality. Also, there is less community support.

As far as managing the backend before this I have used Firebase for applying to auth in my projects, but while using the appwrite authentications are much easier, and also for the databases it's easy to implement but as there is less community support for React Native, I faced difficulties while working with Realtime Api and Storage.
