a0.dev (YC W25) helps developers build native mobile apps in days instead of weeks by generating full react native apps and custom components with AI. Enter your app idea and we'll build a custom react native app for you!
Building a mobile app is significantly harder than launching a website. Developers spend weeks setting up navigation, managing state, and coding every screen from scratch. If you’re building for iOS, you also need a Mac, Xcode, and a maze of provisioning profiles—just to test your app. These barriers make mobile development slow, expensive, and inaccessible to many.
a0.dev removes these obstacles by generating a full React Native front end instantly. Just describe your app, and a0.dev sets up your project with navigation, state management, and production-ready UI screens. Need to prototype a single screen? The Component Generator makes it easy to create and export UI components in seconds. With live previews and cloud-hosted builds, you can share and iterate on your app without waiting for TestFlight or compiling builds manually.
My co founder Ayomide Omolewa and I know this problem firsthand. As indie app developers, we launched multiple mobile apps, some generating up to $14K MRR. Now, we're building the platform they wish they had—one that makes mobile app development as fast and accessible as building a website.
What mechanisms are in place to ensure the generated React Native code follows established best practices and maintains consistent code quality across different app generations?
In its current form after spending good 6 hours on testing it needs a lot of polish.
- Single component use ?
- GitHub sync not working
- no way to see screens that created or fix errors along the way of app creation flow
- no way to simply download the code and work in cursor
- ssh implementation buggy
- would prefer vo ui currentlyas screens get created page exclusively wide
brillant idea - loved the extra suggestions it kept spitting out - very useful as it came up with things i never thought of.
gave it try as i have a new startup that needs a app component, used up all 50 msgs and still ended up with a lot of errors to the point i could not even use it to explain to a real app dev what i'm after. so as a prototype app dev tool it didnt really work well. most of those 50msgs were spent me trying to explain that it was making error after error in its code, and a lot of the time those fixes were in the chat side and not in the code side.. very strange, but with more dev work on your side, this could be a real useful tool to proto type a functional app to devs to explain what we are trying to do.
question - when do the 50msgs refill so i can try again later :)
thanks tony
How does your AI handle state management decisions when generating apps - does it automatically choose between local state, Context API, or Redux based on the app's complexity?
I have been using producthunt for almost a year now, I have never posted a comment, but this one deserves more than a shout out. This one is a really powerful tool. Far less hallucination than any other UI builder I used.
Just React Native Write some code, Good but not perfect, Not a native mode for all platform
I love this but the app could use more customization like icons or illustrations. You want it to be more appealing and customizable to the user.
So you’re telling me we don’t have to spend weeks debugging state management anymore? Where do I sign up?
I recommend a0.dev — it's an amazing tool that helps developers create mobile apps many times faster. Instead of weeks of development, a0.dev can build a full-fledged React Native app in just a few days, thanks to powerful AI capabilities.
This is absolutely impressive! I can’t wait to dive in and start using it. Removing all the friction from getting started with React Native is exactly what I needed. Huge kudos to the team for making this possible!
Just tried it and very disapointed with the results.
Amazing idea, crazy value on the paper but very basic and 1/2 time not working :(
