About myflow

myflow is an all-in-one platform for coaches, consultants, creators, and speakers.

Their desktop platform helps solopreneurs manage everything from web pages and landing pages to coaching sessions, courses, and community management, all under one roof.

The

Challenges

myflow had built a comprehensive desktop platform, but they recognized their users needed mobile access too. They needed a technical partner who could extend their team with mobile-specific skills.

1

Solopreneurs and creators aren’t always at their desks – they need to check form responses, manage their community, and access their content on the go.

2

myflow’s in-house team didn’t have mobile development expertise, and hiring a full-time mobile developer didn’t make sense for a single project.

Technical implementation

We integrated one of our React Native developers into their existing team, working 2-3 days per week to build their mobile app from the ground up.

Why React Native?

Instead of building separate iOS and Android apps, React Native let us create a truly native experience across both platforms while sharing the codebase.

Unlike Flutter’s custom rendering engine, React Native renders actual native components, giving users the familiar feel they expect.
The approach

myflow had already built a JSON-based page builder system on their backend.
Our developer implemented a mobile renderer that takes the same JSON structure and converts it into native mobile components.

When users build pages on desktop, the mobile app automatically renders them using native elements.

Development approach

Since this was about extending functionality rather than redesigning it, our developer created the mobile UI based on their existing desktop interface, adapting layouts for mobile screens.

No fancy redesign needed – just make it work on mobile.

We handled the entire app store process – setup, submission, and deployment to both App Store and Google Play using Expo EAS for faster releases.
