React Native AR/VR Development Kit for Mobile-First Teams
Mobile development teams proficient in React Native face a steep learning curve when adding AR/VR features to their apps. Native AR frameworks (ARKit, ARCore) require platform-specific code that breaks the cross-platform promise. A React Native-native AR/VR SDK that ships directly to devices lets existing mobile teams add spatial features without hiring specialized XR engineers.
Problem Statement
React Native teams asked to add AR try-on features, spatial product visualization, or VR training modules must either learn Swift/Kotlin AR APIs or hire specialized XR developers. Existing solutions like Expo AR are experimental, and third-party AR SDKs require ejecting from managed workflows. The result is delayed timelines, inconsistent cross-platform behavior, and maintenance burden on a small mobile team.
The Idea
A cross-platform AR/VR development kit built on React Native that enables mobile teams to build and ship spatial experiences to iOS and Android without native XR expertise.
Why Now
Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3 have normalized spatial computing expectations among consumers; React Native 0.76+ architecture improvements enable better native module bridging for real-time rendering; enterprise AR use cases in retail, manufacturing, and training are moving from pilot to production.
Target User
React Native mobile developers, mobile team leads at mid-market companies, agencies building AR-enhanced apps
Target Market
Cross-platform mobile development, enterprise AR/VR applications, React Native ecosystem

Coding agents now produce more PRs than human engineers on many teams, overwhelming reviewers with diffs they cannot read line-by-line. A triage system that evaluates PR risk based on code sensitivity, author verification steps, and agent conversation context lets reviewers focus on the PRs where human judgment changes outcomes. Haystack demonstrated this model, reaching strong HN traction.
