From altitude sickness to the app store with Expo Router, ElysiaJS, and Nativewind

After experiencing a personal setback in attempting to climb a 5,000-meter mountain, a software developer channeled the disappointment into creating 100cims, a mobile app for mountain enthusiasts. Designed to track mountain summits, the app allows users to log climbs, earn scores based on difficulty and elevation, view summit histories, and compare achievements with friends. Built using React Native and powered by Expo, 100cims offers seamless functionality across iOS and Android. The backend employs Elysia.js for API architecture, ensuring type safety and performance, while the database is managed via Drizzle ORM on Supabase. The app has organically attracted over 200 users and logged more than 1,000 summits in under four months. Its features include hiking plans with chat functionality, and future updates aim to enhance user interaction through gamification and community-driven challenges. The developer's journey from personal failure to creating a widely-used application illustrates the potential of over-engineering a passion project into a community tool.
