In plain English

This is a ready-to-use starting point for building a mobile app that runs on iPhone, Android, and the web from a single codebase. It is built on Expo SDK 54, a popular toolkit for React Native development, and comes pre-configured with user authentication (email and password sign-in), file-based routing, and Tailwind-style CSS styling that works on both mobile and web. The authentication system is powered by Supabase, which handles user accounts, session storage, and the split between public and protected routes. When a user is not logged in, the app routes them to the login screen. Once authenticated, they land on the dashboard. This logic is already wired up in the boilerplate so you can start building product features without setting up auth from scratch. Styling uses NativeWind, which brings Tailwind CSS class names to React Native. Instead of writing separate style objects per platform, you use short utility classes like bg-blue-500 text-white and they apply consistently on both the mobile app and the web version. For deployment, the web version can be published to Vercel with a single command. Mobile builds are handled through Expo's EAS Build service, which compiles the app for App Store and Google Play submissions. The README walks through all ten setup steps in sequence, from creating the project and installing dependencies to configuring Supabase settings and submitting to app stores. The boilerplate is intentionally minimal: no design system, no pre-built UI component library beyond a few basic shared elements like a button, an input, and a container wrapper. It is aimed at developers and vibe coders who want a clean, deployable foundation for a mobile-and-web product without wrestling with the initial configuration of each tool.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I cloned this Expo SDK 54 boilerplate and set up Supabase. How do I add a user profile page that only shows the logged-in user's data?
Prompt 2
How do I add Google OAuth sign-in to this boilerplate alongside the existing email and password authentication?
Prompt 3
I want to add a simple to-do list feature to this Expo boilerplate using Supabase as the database. Walk me through adding the table and the screen.
Prompt 4
How do I customize the NativeWind theme in this boilerplate to use my own brand colors and font?
