Stack focus
Building a mobile app is hard. Doing it in isolation is harder.
Whether you're launching an MVP or scaling to 10k MRR, this is your home base to talk code, marketing, and the real work of running a mobile SaaS.
Why another developer community?
Because most communities are full of noise. We focus on the signal.
We built this space specifically for founders using the modern mobile stack: React Native, Expo, Supabase, and RevenueCat. We care about what works, what scales, and what helps you launch fast.
Ship quickly
Swap battle-tested snippets and playbooks that help you push to TestFlight and Play Store faster.
Practical feedback
Share your build, get UI roasts, and iterate with founders who are actually shipping.
Zero fluff
No framework wars, just the stack that lets you deliver across iOS, Android, and web without burning weeks.
What you'll find inside
Signal-only rooms for builders.
Welcome to the Native Founders community. We're a group of fast-paced developers, indie hackers, and solopreneurs who are tired of the tutorial treadmill and just want to ship.
The Modern Stack
Discussions focused on Expo and React Native. No legacy code here.
AI Workflows
Tips on using Cursor, Claude, and v0 to write code 10x faster.
Marketing & Growth
Share your wins, get your UI roasted, and learn how to get your first 100 subscribers.
Accountability
Connect with other solopreneurs who are actually shipping, not just talking about it.
