Author of the blog post here. Happy to answer any questions.

I'm curious how much y'all used AI in the development process of the app. Definitely a lot of thought put into the architecture as shown in the post here, what was the split of human written vs. AI-written code? Especially curious given v0 is intended for building with AI.

Really great writeup, super thoughtful! Been a v0 user and fan for awhile now, excited to give this a shot!

Our biggest usage of AI was actually a code review bot which lives on GitHub PRs. It reviews our code on every commit. It was originally an internal tool, but it's now Vercel Agent.

We also used v0 for prototyping ideas and designs for the native app.

Why did you decide against SwiftUI?

I ultimately prefer React Native's composition model over SwiftUI.

Something that attracts me to RN is that it's easy to drop down to native. We use SwiftUI for a number of components under the hood. But for a full app, React Native felt better.
