Same thing at my state uni. We used https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/unix-power-tools/059600... as our textbook, and I still keep it on my shelf 20 years later.
There's room for both. The vast majority of my meals are from Indian, Mexican, Thai, etc. recipes but occasionally I get the craving for a good burger. I've had some pretty good and a lot of not so good veggie patties, and although I'd only envision myself eating one of these every few months, I'm still excited to see what they came up with.

Edit: To note that I've only been a vegetarian for about 8 years (or around a 20-25% of my life), so definitely get the occasional craving for foods I used to enjoy in the past.

To your last point - yes, you can mix your view controllers (or Activity/Fragments on Android) between pure native and React Native implementations.

I'm a fan of both https://www.headspace.com and http://www.calm.com to get started. Both have free options to start out, and don't require a large amount of time to get started. The guided meditation at Headspace was key for me to get walking down this path.

Design is definitely not my strong point either :) Google's design pages[1] have been a big help to me, they call out specific things to do and not to do with Material design. I think they put it together in a way that can help engineers out.

Looks great, will be checking this out. One piece of constructive criticism from the preview images is that the title font sizes are a bit large and that the different font faces are a little distracting.

Congrats for releasing your app, and kudos for sharing with us here!

The article mentions just that:

"First and foremost, we will be significantly expanding our manufacturing and shipping capabilities. This process has already begun with two new manufacturers that will ramp up our production to more than fifty times its previous rate allowing us to vigorously tackle our order backlog while working toward imminent real-time shipping fulfillment."
