I'm a fairly experienced backend and web developer. My first experience with RN was exactly this. During 24 hours at a hackathon I was able to build an app that would show a live view of the camera, capture 5 frames a second to be analysed by an external api, overlay recognised food items on the screen, send it all off to the hello fresh api and display a list of recipes to the user that would use the most food items from their fridge. The fact that I was able to accomplish all of this in 24 hours with no prior RN experience is just amazing to me.
