I’ve alway been interested in writing a mobile app and since I’ve had some free time recently, I decided to put my skills to the test and dive right into building a React Native app. I thought it would be fun and challenging to build an Instagram-like app while using Ruby on Rails for my API.

For my first big Rails project I decided I wanted to challenge myself and create an application that sends users reminder texts sent at a specified day and time. The user can select their time zone which will be used to send their reminder texts at the correct time.
