our plan is to sell to enterprise and charge them, end user can download the app for free. Employer pays

and we do have several 'sales' people and lots of interest.

well, a bit more then an MVP. We need to sort a few things out, but the main things are done. translation isn't complete for instance.

ooh and I need to sort out notifications as well

push notifications are a bit of a journey @thomas

[1] i would highly recommend you hit APNS and firebase APIs directly rather than using an intermediary - after issues with lost notifications via a couple of different intermediaries (pushwoosh, AWS pinpoint) we ended up going direct

hmmm ok... I was thinking about using Expo, but I'll have a look into it. thank you for the tip

[2] iOS and android have some quite different push capabilities (e.g. channels in android) - it's worth reading around the docs and thinking about how you can offer the best feature set to users on each platform

@thomas well, there's the presentation of notifications in the client, which is in the domain of expo, but you have to send the notifications which is where you hit the APNS/firebase APIs

unless you are talking about local-only notifications, rather than pushes - in which case, it's all within expo

Expo has a service which abstract both APNS and firebase away for you and present one interface for the two.

and we want remote notifications

oh, i see - expo has an API-side service, for sending the pushes - i didn't realise, i thought it was on-device only

I think I going to try that first.

yeah, a single service is certainly more convenient

and there are tutorials out there that show you how to hook it up with Lambdas, so that is known to work as well.
