CommunityOS Mobile

https://communityos-web.co.za/

A React Native / Expo port, 1:1 from the CommunityOS web app (Vite + React 19 + Supabase). It connects residents in one place — frictionless auth with anonymous sign-in on launch via Supabase + expo-secure-store, themed light/dark, file-based routing with (auth) / (tabs) / (more) groups.

  • Safety hub — panic alert, issues + incident heatmap
  • Local commerce — marketplace, services + bookings, deals
  • Community — news, AI assistant, tickets, admin, PayFast

Current app-demo branch is a clean-canvas reset — placeholder tabs on the kept foundation (nav shell, auth, UI kit, contexts, Supabase client).
