Introducing Cuisine - A Food Delivery App! ???

I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my first-ever food delivery app, Cuisine, developed using React Native and Expo!

About the App:

Cuisine is designed to make ordering food easy and comfortable. Whether you’re craving Japanese sushi or Thai curry, Cuisine has got you covered with a diverse range of options. The app features:

- 15 different cuisine categories to suit every taste.

- Around 75 restaurants across Toronto to choose from, ensuring you have a variety of dining options at your fingertips.

A Bit of Backstory:

My journey into mobile app development started with Android Studio, but I found the process quite complex and challenging. The need to master Java for Android and Swift for iOS seemed overwhelming, and I eventually stopped learning mobile app development altogether.

However, after 2 years, I was introduced to Expo and React Native, which reignited my interest and passion for mobile development.

Why I’m Excited About This Approach:

- Unified Development: I can build cross-platform apps using JavaScript and React without learning multiple languages. This has made the development process much more enjoyable and efficient.

- Familiar Tools: Leveraging my experience with JavaScript and React allowed me to dive into mobile development easily and confidently.

Tech Stack Highlights:

- React Native: For a seamless mobile experience.

- Expo: To simplify development and deployment.

- Key Dependencies:

- @react-navigation/native

- @reduxjs/toolkit

- react-native-maps

- react-native-animatable

- react-native-progress

- react-native-svg

- react-redux
