I Started Building My First React Native App – BookBazaar

#buildinpublic #webdev #learning #programming

Hello everyone 👋
I’m a Computer Science student who recently started learning React Native, and I decided the best way to learn is by building real projects.

So today, I officially started working on my first app called BookBazaar 📚

🤔 What is BookBazaar?

BookBazaar is a book exchange mobile app where users can explore, share, and exchange books.
The goal of this project is not just to build an app—but to learn React Native step by step.

🧭 What I Learned Today

Today, I learned how the navigation system works in React Native.

I explored:

How screens connect with each other

How Stack Navigator manages screen flow

How apps move from Splash → Login → Home

Instead of just watching tutorials, I learned this by actually building the navigation inside my project, which made the concepts much clearer.

🧠 Challenges I Faced

At first, navigation felt confusing:

Too many screens

Errors while navigating

Understanding stack behavior
