What it does
BlogReactNative is a full-stack mobile app that lets users manage blog posts from their phone. The frontend handles user registration and login with JWT token verification, post creation with camera or gallery image uploads (converted to Base64), and a searchable post list sorted by date. Navigation uses Expo Router with file-based routing.
The backend provides REST endpoints for authentication and CRUD post operations, backed by a SQLite database. Posts support title, content, image, and author metadata. The project runs on iOS, Android, and web through Expo’s unified platform.
