This looks dope. I'm kind of like... in disbelief that this level of execution is available on a platform like this.
Maker
Thank you for your kind words :)

Maker
Thanks you, Jevin :) We'd love to hear your feedback.
I second this, this can't be real? Can it?
Maker

Hello, Product Hunters! We're super excited to launch Shoutem v5 on Product Hunt. Thank you for hunting us. For the last 8+ years, we were on a mission to empower everyone to make great mobile apps. We finally found a way for developers, companies, and individuals with no coding knowledge to supercharge their mobile app development process. For the past year and a half, we've been developing a new version of Shoutem platform. We built Shoutem v5: a developer-friendly platform based on React Native, that allows users to create truly native and cross-platform mobile apps. The platform provides a complete development environment, tools, and freedom to change any functionality of the platform or create a new one. All functionalities are open-sourced so you'll never get locked in. With the complete freedom to modify or create new functionalities, dozens of integrations, hundreds of customizable layouts, CMS, we took care of the drudge-work and reimplementing common functionalities, allowing you to keep the focus on innovating the core of your application. You can use the platform as DIY app builder, to create an app without a single line of code, as we've already built most of the functionalities you'd expect from an app, waiting for you to plug them into your app. We prepared a special discount and limited-time offer for Product Hunters - 20% off on all of our plans for a year, redeemable in the next two months. To claim your discount, simply email our support team at with Product Hunt deal, and they'll apply a discount code on your account (we're still working on the implementation of promo code logic 😃 ) Thank you for checking us out, and we'd love to hear your feedback! Feel free to reply with any questions or comments about Shoutem. p.s. On the end of the video, it says to visit - we're in the process of migrating new website, so for now, please visit :)
looks like a cool platfrom. when I puslish the app to the app store, is it registered under southem developer account or my own? what if in the future want to replace the app with a unrelated custom made app i built later? also, can I download the source code of the app i built with the builder?
Maker
It's registered under your own account and you can do with that app whatever you want - you can update it, remove it or replace it with a new unrelated custom app at any time. Yes! You can get the complete source code with "shoutem pull-app" command in our CLI tool. Read more here:
For people with no coding skills, comparing Shoutem's pricing to something like the is interesting. I see a lot of value in this just to get going and get something out there fast. For the Shoutem team–I've seen other app-building platforms come and go. What makes you guys successful and live up to developer standards after they join a team using Shoutem?

Hi , thanks for the comment! We are one of the first platforms, launched in 2010 and still on the market. With the new platform, we focused a lot to make it developer friendly. In the past year and a half, we did many user testing sessions throughout the whole product development phase. First, we built our platform focused on developers first. When building apps, developers reimplement over 80% of the features over and over. Using simple modular architecture, they can reuse already built modules (extensions) and focus on solving the unique problems. Second, we made sure we choose the right technology. The end result app needs to have native look and feel, and it should be easy to develop apps for both iOS and Android. That's why we decided to go with React Native, which was liked even by our native developers. And finally, we made sure our platform is accessible to the developers community. This means both making it free and completely open source. There's no lock-in: developers can build their apps using extensions built by Shoutem and the community. They have complete app project and they decide what to do with it.
Wow, this is gorgeous and very well crafted. Congrats! I went straight for the developer "create your own extension" and the documentation looks to be on point and verbose, so thank you for that! Do you have any plans to try and get more developers to develop for the platform? Or is the focus right now not really on that and hoping for organic growth of developers?
Maker
Hi , our plan is to create a developer community similar to the WordPress one. We want to open up extension marketplace where developers can share and sell their extensions.
Awesome! Can't wait to try it out 😎
Bravo guys, outstanding product and presentation.
Maker
, thanks a lot! We're glad you like it. :)
developer friendly is the way to go, shoot for the WordPress of apps! Good luck :)
Maker
Thanks, , we couldn't agree more! Yup, that's something we had in mind - to become WordPress for native mobile apps.
Where do I get support for the developer version? The downloaded code is not running on my devices.
Awesome product. This is the future :). It would be nice to have a free tier that wasn't just a trial. Perhaps just limit publishing for a paid tier, but as it stands, the pricing seems a little steep for me, and possibly a lot of people this tool is actually targeted at.
Maker
Have you checked our developer's plan? I think it exactly has the structure which you're proposing :).
Wow, you guys made such a long way! Still remember playing with it back in 2012 when you were just starting. Congrats!
Maker
It was an interesting journey, but we finally found the perfect formula for the mobile app development! Thank you for your support :)
Looks fantastic! I Can't wait to try :)
Maker
We'd love to hear your feedback once you try it :)
Sure!
Looks super impressive. Almost don't believe it :) Can't wait to run through for a project this weekend.
Maker
That's awesome! Feel free to ping us with your feedback :)
