Abstract: Over the last few years, different techniques and frameworks have risen to provide a solution for creating a cross-platform
application. The goal is to develop only one source code that can be deployed to different operating systems and provide a native
experience. Since 2015, React Native has been promoted as an option to build mobile applications to write the code once and deploy it
to any platform seamlessly. At the current time, there is no other library that promotes native mobile development using JavaScript.
This work makes an experimental analysis with an unbiased vision, based on the application development experience using React
Native and native code of several mobile applications. It analyses different scenarios to consider a technology or framework to build a
mobile application. Conclusions state that the election of native code, React Native, or a mix of both relies on time, budget, the
experience of the development team, and the features of the application.

This project combines the power of React Native's cross-platform development capabilities with modern UI/UX design principles to
create a mobile application that is accessible to a wide range of users. It not only facilitates the exchange of educational resources but
also encourages collaboration among students and educators. The Handwritten Notes Selling App serves as a powerful tool for students
looking to supplement their learning materials and for educators to monetize their valuable content. It fosters a thriving community of
knowledge-sharing and provides a convenient, secure, and efficient platform for users to buy and sell handwritten notes. The project
showcases the potential of mobile app development in revolutionizing the education industry and fostering a culture of sharing and
collaboration.

INTRODUCTION

In an age defined by technology and connectivity, the education landscape is rapidly evolving. Welcome to NOTES WALAH, an
innovative concept that unites students in a virtual marketplace of knowledge. Our unique platform reimagines how study materials are
exchanged, making learning collaborative, accessible, and empowering. At NOTES WALAH, we understand the challenges students
face in their search for comprehensive and dependable study materials. Our project tackles this issue by creating a user-friendly online
space where students can buy and sell notes, ensuring access to high-quality resources for all. We believe that every student possesses
unique insights and perspectives, and NOTES WALAH is the platform through which these insights can be shared and celebrated.

The Handwritten Notes Selling App is a React Native mobile application that is reshaping the way educational content is accessed and
shared in the digital era. It responds to the evolving needs of students and educators, offering a platform for the exchange of
handwritten educational materials. This app leverages the potential of React Native to provide a seamless and engaging experience for
Android device users. We prioritize user privacy and data security, incorporating robust registration and authentication mechanisms to
protect user information. Sellers can easily upload and manage their handwritten notes, while buyers can efficiently search, filter, and
preview content, ensuring they find the most relevant resources. Secure payment gateways and in-app communication channels instill
trust and streamline transactions. User reviews and ratings are central to building a sense of community and encouraging the creation of
high-quality educational content. Real-time notifications keep users informed, and personalized profiles enhance community
engagement. Additionally, an administrative control panel empowers administrators to oversee and manage the platform, ensuring its
integrity and smooth operation. NOTES WALAH is not just a platform; it represents a revolution in education. It empowers students to
collaborate, leverage technology, and share knowledge. Join us on this exciting journey as we reshape the future of education, making
learning accessible and enriching for all.

NOTES WALAH is committed to addressing the challenges students face when seeking comprehensive and reliable study materials.
Our vision is to create a user-friendly online platform where students can easily buy and sell notes, providing universal access to high-
quality educational resources. We believe that every student possesses unique insights and perspectives, and NOTES WALAH serves
as a conduit for sharing and celebrating these individual talents.
The Handwritten Notes Selling App, built with React Native, is at the core of our initiative. It is designed to adapt to the changing
needs of students and educators, providing a dedicated platform for the exchange of handwritten educational materials. This app not
only leverages the capabilities of React Native but also ensures a seamless user experience on Android devices. User privacy and data
security are of paramount importance to us. We have implemented robust registration and authentication mechanisms to protect user
information. Sellers can easily upload and manage their handwritten notes, while buyers can efficiently search, filter, and preview
content to find the most relevant resources. The presence of secure payment gateways and in-app communication channels fosters trust
and streamlines transactions, enhancing the user experience. User-generated reviews and ratings are the cornerstones of our
community, promoting the creation of high-quality educational content and fostering a sense of belonging among users. Real-time
notifications keep users informed and engaged, and personalized profiles enhance the community's sense of identity and interaction.
Additionally, our administrative control panel allows our dedicated team to oversee and manage the platform vigilantly, ensuring its
integrity and smooth operation. While the exact outcomes of this endeavor will evolve over time, these principles serve as the
foundation of our mission to bridge the gap between knowledge seekers and knowledge sharers, providing an invaluable resource for
students and educators alike.
