Contributing

Due to time constraints there are several features that I haven’t been able to develop yet. If you would like to develop your React Native skills and contribute any of the features below this would be hugely beneficial! 🎉

• Debouncing or throttling on search functionality.
• Adding clear search button functionality on Android. This functionality already exists on iOS.
• Animations would be a nice touch! Fading in the details screen background image would be priority.
• Any general performance improvements.

Other contributions and suggestions are always very welcome! Contact me if you wish to discuss anything.
