Building Mobile Apps on Replit: Case Study + Inside Look From Product Team

A non-technical builder created an iOS speed-reading app, Flash News, using Replit's AI-powered tools. The development process involved brainstorming with an LLM like Claude and using Replit Agent to generate the initial React Native codebase. This workflow, combined with Expo integration, significantly simplified the process of deploying the application to the App Store. The case study also includes design advice for mobile development, emphasizing the use of AI as a partner and studying native platform guidelines for a polished user experience.
