The Code

This is a React Native implementation of Standard Notes. React Native allows us to build native mobile applications using JavaScript. This allows us to develop faster, as well as have a more reliable and consistent cross-platform experience.

Building from source

1. Make sure you can run an example React Native project, setup your environment according to official docs
2. If you would like to build an Android app, you need to install Android NDK. We use a native code from libsodium encryption library to ensure we archieve the best performance. You can install NDK in Android Studio, you need to pick version listed here
3. Install yarn if you don't have it already.
4. Install project dependencies

yarn run init

We have to flavours of the app:

• dev which runs connects to development syncing server. To run locally use yarn ios-dev or yarn android-dev for Android.
• prod which is an equivalent of a regular production app. To run locall use yarn ios-prod or yarn android-prod for Android.

If you would like to run on your iOS device, you need to do it using Xcode.
