ProfitFinder is an iOS app, currently on TestFlight, for sizing up an item on the spot. You scan it with the camera and the app returns a profit estimate, so you can decide quickly while you're in front of the product.

It is built with Expo and React Native and styled with NativeWind. A Hono backend with Drizzle and PostgreSQL handles the data side, with Sentry for error tracking. Subscriptions run through RevenueCat, with ads via Google AdMob.

Status: in development, on TestFlight. Not yet on the App Store.

Highlights

  • Camera scan with an instant profit estimate
  • Expo and React Native with a Hono backend
  • Subscriptions via RevenueCat

Challenges

  • Deciding whether an item is worth buying usually means doing the margin math by hand in the store.

Outcomes

  • Camera-based profit estimate
  • Expo app with a Hono and PostgreSQL backend
  • On TestFlight, App Store pending
