Most LA app projects start cross-platform to move fast and control cost, with native modules added only where performance or platform APIs require it.
Before writing code we map the core user flow and the minimum backend needed to support it, so the first release stays achievable and testable.
After launch we can keep maintaining the app: OS updates, bug fixes, new features and periodic performance reviews.
