## What it is
Snowflake is a React Native starter app/boilerplate for building iOS and Android apps from a single JavaScript codebase. It ships with Redux, React Native Router Flux, Jest tests, i18n, and a choice of Hapi or Parse Server backends running locally or in the cloud.

## Use cases
- bootstrap a react native app with redux
- react native starter template with authentication
- learn redux and react native router flux by example
- react native boilerplate with jest tests and i18n
- mobile app skeleton with hapi or parse server backend
- example react native login register profile screens

## When to choose
- you want a ready-made React Native app skeleton with Redux, routing, forms, and tests already wired up
- you want to study a complete example of a React Native app with a Hapi or Parse backend
- you need auth flows (login, register, forgot password) as a starting point

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained template compatible with current React Native versions - the project targets React Native 0.41 and hasn't been updated since 2019
- you use Expo or a modern React Native toolchain
- you want a minimal starter without opinionated Redux and backend choices

## Facets
