best way to scaffold a react native app?

is Lovable, Bolt, or Cursor particularly good at setting one up?

Im the guy that posted all those factory memes once

yea i’m not a huge v0/lovable etc fan. 

feels faster to just go straight to cursor tbh

Since no one directly answered the question: for getting bootstrapped it's fine but, much like every other app I built off of Bolt or Lovable, eventually the prompting in the web app breaks down and you need to move it into cursor. I haven't spent a ton of time but it did unblock me from needing to bootstrap and I found that at least useful. I personally come from a pretty strong React background but a really weak React Native one

don't take my casts seriously please (most of them at least)

After doing expo create cursor does pretty good

or just use Claude Code

i used cursor to build Windows 95 in the browser, been vibecoding for a year+

spend some time talking through the architecture, key features, & implementation details with Claude, GPT, etc. once you’ve got a good spec of the requirements, tell it to create instructions for an AI coding assistant to scaffold your project

should get you most of the way there in the first few Cursor prompts if it’s not overly complex and you really nailed the instructions
