Building a Full Stack Social Mobile App in 15 minutes with Expo, React Native, and Lens Protocol

In this video you'll learn how to quickly build full stack mobile apps with social networking features using Expo, React Native, and Lens Protocol.

I'll start by giving a brief introduction to Lens and React Native Lens UI Kit, the library we'll be using to build our app.

From there, we'll start building our app using a new Expo app adding features like a list of profiles, profile details, comment details, themeing, and viewing other people's followers.

By the end of this video you should be able to get started building mobile apps with Expo and React Native Lens UI Kit.

I noticed that you transitioned from companies like AWS to smaller firms with a focus on crypto and blockchain. Do you see a future for yourself in these technologies? what about job opportunities? is it possible to find a job without experience and degree in that field? BTW, great videos, i have built many AWS full stack apps following your videos and your book, are you planning to write another book?

This is great! Thank you :). One thing I think would be helpful is knowing the next steps to manage the Ethereum wallet in a mobile app like this. Do you have any pointers?
