Baynolohiya - Baybayin Learning App

A React Native mobile application for learning Baybayin (ancient Filipino script) with interactive lessons, quizzes, and educational content.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18 or higher) - If you don't have Node.js installed, download it from nodejs.org
• npm or yarn package manager

Setup Instructions

1. Install Expo CLI

   npm install expo

2. Check and Update Dependencies Verify and update all dependencies to match the installed SDK version:

   npx expo install --check

   npx expo install --fix

   Then check for common problems:

   npx expo-doctor

3. Start the Development Server

   npx expo start

Troubleshooting Connection Issues

If Expo Go cannot start the app or you encounter connection problems:

1. Install ngrok for tunneling

   sudo npm install -g @expo/ngrok

2. Start with tunnel mode

   npx expo start --tunnel

The tunnel mode creates a secure connection that works regardless of network configuration, making it ideal for testing on physical devices.
