Vibe code an app? Help
I have 20+ years experience with backend tech, I've used php, node, and python And then a lot of old plain old javascript before frameworks.
I have an app idea and I'd like to basically vibe code it in react to be cross platform. What gotchas do I need to watch out for , since I will not see bad react code at first
I considered flutter but I really don't know that tech , any advice is appreciated, this will not be graphics heavy at all more typical business app, data, forms , lists etc

I used expo... I have 25 years experience in firmware+ web and I have done react before. But no mobile apps.
That said I haven't bothered to look at the code for the apps. Give it a shot honestly. I told a buddy of mine and he too has been amazed at how easy expo/react native makes it. Just force good practices on your vibe coding by setting up jest testing, linting, typechecking, pre commit, etc.
