2. Motivation
Building with React Native from scratch is a tedious process with multiple steps such as adding styling, interactions, state management, responsiveness, accessibility, etc. We wanted to build and ship accessible, high-quality apps quickly.
Our inspirations include Material UI, Chakra UI, Ant Design, Braid Design System, Bootstrap, TailwindCSS & Flutter.

NativeBase offers around 40 components so you can build seamlessly. It includes button, checkbox, flex, stack and more.

Themeability is one of the core elements of NativeBase. You can customise your app theme and component styles to your heart's content.
Available for Both Mobile and Web
