The OP built the React Native mobile app - not the entire platform / company. Some folks commenting like they built the company. Just a point of clarification.

Great work! Keep building OP!

The OP title seems a bit misleading notwithstanding this caveat.

  • I think there's ambiguity. An app built for a platform that does xyz. Does the app do xyz, the platform, or both? If I build an app that takes you straight to idk a Treasury department website, have I built an app for a platform that transacts trillions of dollars?

  • seems like this is par for course for hustler “founders” nowadays to say half truths to seem groundbreaking to get attention

  • I thought that at first too, but then I figured it's pretty impressive that the app is processing $6M/month even though the financial platform pre-existed.

It’s the same BS that people have at LinkedIn - leading a $250B initiative or increased revenue by $100B

OpenAI’s executive claiming - made one of the top visited websites :-)
