Urban Dictionary

A React Native implementation of the Urban Dictionary App, platform agnostic, runs on both iOS and Android

I wrote something about this app on medium, thanks to all the 2 people who read it.

About the app

This is a simple app for Urban Dictionary with minimal features.

  • Random word of the day
  • Search for terms/words.
  • Up/Downvote word
  • Favourite word
  • Trending terms
  • Submit to App store and/or Google Play store.

Getting Started

  • Clone the app

    git clone https://github.com/edwinbosire/Urbandict.git

  • run npm in the project root folder

    npm install

  • run on simulator

    react-native run-ios --simulator "iPhone 5s"

    Avoid this by opening the project in xcode and chosing run, this is also a better environment to read & fix build time errors.

If you encounter any problem, refer to the React Native Documentation.
