Show HN: Open-source React Native templates (trading, messaging, AI chat)

I built and open-sourced a collection of 20 production-ready React Native templates

Each template is a single, self-contained screen. All built with React Native New Architecture, TypeScript, and 4 core libraries: Reanimated, Gesture Handler, Unistyles, and React Native SVG. No UI framework, no heavy dependencies. Framework-agnostic, works with Expo Router, React Navigation, or custom navigation.

I started this project before AI got good at writing UI code. The plan was different then. But building UI screens is becoming a commodity, AI makes it cheaper every day, and the trend is clear.

Developers can move much faster now — no need to rebuild the same onboarding flow every time. So these are more useful as open reference implementations, showing what's achievable with a focused, minimal stack, than as a gated product.

Templates also include some basic documentation to help AI coding assistants understand the structure if you want to use them for customization.

Demo app available on TestFlight and Google Play if you want to see the animations and interactions before looking at code (see documentation).
