This project was built using React Native and Expo, the benefits being you don't need to write native android or iOS code separately.

DEMO PROJECTS

Below are three examples where I've used my HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React (JTask) knowledge to build front-end demos of an e-commerce platform, video streaming platform and a task manager app.

JTask

Task manager (Demo)

Built using React library, JSX and CSS.

This demo uses React state and props to allow users to add, resolve and close tasks. You can also add new users and assign tasks to them directly (Front-end demo only, so saved in local storage).

Jgos

Ecommerce website (Demo)

Built using vanilla JavaScript, HTML and CSS.

Imports a JSON file, to simulate a backend fetch request. It creates an array of new product objects that can be added to the shopping cart, favourites and also filtered.

Front end demo only, so no payment system etc.

JTube

Video streaming site (Demo)

Built using vanilla JavaScript, HTML and CSS.

This demo uses the 3rd party YouTube public API.

Local storage is used to store trending videos and previous searches.
