React Native Reading Library

About the project

I’m looking for a React Native developer who can deliver a clean, production-ready Android and iOS app that mirrors the core experience of the Pratilipi reader linked above. The goal is to give users a smooth way to browse, search and read a large catalogue of text-based articles while also allowing approved contributors to upload new pieces from an admin panel or writer screen. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pratilipi.mobile.android&referrer=utm_source%3Dweb_footer%26utm_medium%3Dweb_footer%26utm_campaign%3Dweb_footer-%2Fseries%2Fvko9k8jvalrc%26utm_content%3Denglish%26meta_campaign_id%3D%26meta_campaign_name%3D%26meta_click_id%3D%26fbp%3Dfb.1.1787659831006.630011365349011555%26fbc%3Dnull%26utm_meta_phone%3D%26user_agent%3D%26uuid%3De2cc3994-9d8d-47c0-b5b4-d1e34076083c%26genre%3D Scope • Build a single codebase in React Native, targeting the latest Android and iOS versions. • Implement an intuitive content library: category browsing, keyword search, trending lists and offline reading for saved articles. • Content is text only; no audio or video handling is needed. • Creator flow: simple editor with basic formatting (bold, italics, headings) and the ability to submit or update articles after moderation. • Reader flow: adjustable font size, night mode, smooth pagination and progress memory per article. • Basic analytics hooks (e.g. Firebase) so I can track reads, retention and most-viewed items. Deliverables 1. Source code in a clean Git repo with clear README for setup. 2. Two signed release builds (APK + iOS archive) ready for store submission. 3. Brief hand-off session or video walkthrough explaining project structure and how to add new content categories. Acceptance criteria – App installs and launches without warnings on both platforms. – Library loads sample content from a JSON or simple backend and displays it within three seconds on mid-range devices. – Article creation, edit and delete actions sync correctly across devices after refresh. – No critical crashes found during a 30-minute exploratory test. If you have apps in the store built with React Native that showcase similar reading experiences, please attach links; it will help me move quickly to awarding the project.
