## What it is
Kitten Tricks is a React Native starter kit/demo app built with TypeScript and the UI Kitten component library, featuring 40+ ready-to-use screens with runtime-switchable Light and Dark themes. It serves as a template for composing cross-platform mobile applications with Eva Design System integration.

## Use cases
- bootstrap a react native mobile app with prebuilt screens
- find react native ui screen examples for e-commerce or social apps
- implement runtime light and dark theme switching in react native
- learn how to use UI Kitten components in a real app
- start a cross-platform ios and android app from a template

## When to choose
- you want a head start building a React Native app with polished UI screens
- you need light/dark theming with Eva Design System out of the box
- you use UI Kitten and want reference implementations

## When to avoid
- you need a backend or full app logic - this is a UI starter kit only
- you don't use React Native or the UI Kitten ecosystem
- you need a minimal boilerplate without 40+ demo screens
