Salwa
A full e-commerce product for a Kuwaiti brand, built solo across app, dashboard, and backend.
Salwa is a complete e-commerce product for a Kuwaiti brand that I designed and built solo: a React Native app live on the App Store and Google Play, a Next.js admin dashboard, and a Supabase backend.
The context
A Kuwaiti brand needed a full e-commerce solution, not just a storefront: a shopping app customers could install, an admin surface to run the catalog and orders, and a backend to hold it all together.
I took the whole product on solo, from the data model to the apps in both stores.
What I built
Salwa is three connected pieces that I designed and shipped end to end on my own.
- Customer shopping app in React Native and Expo, on iOS and Android
- Admin dashboard in Next.js for catalog, orders, and content
- Supabase backend for data, auth, and storage
- One codebase shipped to both the App Store and Google Play
- App Store and Google Play submission handled end to end
How it works
The customer app is a single React Native and Expo codebase that ships to both iOS and Android, which keeps one product in sync across platforms instead of two separate builds. Supabase provides the database, authentication, and file storage behind it.
The Next.js admin dashboard reads and writes the same Supabase backend, so the brand can manage the catalog and orders and see those changes reflected in the app. Building all three layers myself kept the data model consistent from the database to the screen.
The outcome
Salwa is live on both the App Store and Google Play, built and shipped solo for a real brand.
It is the clearest proof that I can take a mobile product from an idea to both stores on my own, backend and admin included.
