Full-Stack Multi-Platform Monorepo with AI-Assisted Development: Next.js + Nest.js + React Native (Expo)
A production-grade multi-platform monorepo demonstrating shared business logic across Web and Mobile. Built with a write-once approach for state management, validation, and types — while each platform retains full control over its UI and navigation. Showcases engineering practices, decision-making and AI-assisted optimization for senior full-stack roles.
A production-grade Kanban application demonstrating monorepo architecture, test-driven development, and modern tooling practices. Originally built as a monolithic Next.js app (next-dnd-starter-kit), then strategically re-architected to a decoupled frontend/backend system, and now expanded to a multi-platform solution with shared business logic across Web and Mobile by AI-assisted development.
| Aspect | Before (Monolithic) | After (Decoupled Monorepo) | Now (Multi-Platform) | Trade-off Reasoning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team Structure | Full-stack developers required | Specialized Frontend & Backend Teams | + Mobile Team with shared domain knowledge | Teams share types/state; onboard faster via shared code |
| Development Cycle | Tightly coupled; one change can impact all | Independent development cycles | Web & Mobile iterate independently on shared foundations | Platform teams move at their own pace |
| Deployment | Single, monolithic deployment | Independent Frontend/Backend deployment | + OTA updates for Mobile via Expo | Three independent release channels |
| Scalability | Vertical scaling of the entire app | Targeted horizontal scaling (e.g., scale only the API service) | Same API serves Web & Mobile clients | Single backend; multiple frontends |
| Technology Stack | Locked into Next.js for backend | Flexible backend choice (Nest.js); can add more services (Go, Python) | + React Native (Expo) with NativeWind | Best tool per platform; shared logic layer |
| Code Reusability | Limited to the Next.js app | Centralized ui & config packages |
+ Shared store and i18n packages (types, state, validation) |
Write once for logic; platform-specific for UI |
The monorepo shares business logic across platforms while keeping UI and navigation platform-specific:

Local Development:
Create a .env (.env.test for testing) file in the apps/api with the following variables:
# Application Environment
# Options: default: development | production | test: for testing
NODE_ENV=development
# Authentication Secret
# Required: A secure random string for JWT token encryption
# Generate: openssl rand -base64 32
# Warning: Keep this value private and unique per environment
JWT_SECRET=[your_secret]
# Database Connection
# Format: mongodb://[username]:[password]@[host]:[port]/[database]?[options]
# Required fields:
# - username: Database user with appropriate permissions (default: root)
# - password: User's password (default: 123456)
# - host: Database host (localhost for development)
# - port: MongoDB port (default: 27017)
# - database: Database name (REQUIRED: next-project-manager)
# - options: Additional connection parameters (default: authSource=admin)
#
# ⚠️ IMPORTANT: The database name MUST be included in the URL
# If omitted, MongoDB will default to "test" database
#
# Local MongoDB example:
# DATABASE_URL="mongodb://root:123456@localhost:27017/next-project-manager?authSource=admin"
#
# MongoDB Atlas (Cloud) example:
# DATABASE_URL="mongodb+srv://username:[email protected]/next-project-manager?retryWrites=true&w=majority"
pnpm install
# API Environment
cp apps/api/env.example apps/api/.env
# Generate Secret and replace NEXTAUTH_SECRET in .env
openssl rand -base64 32
# Web Environment
cp apps/web/env.example apps/webs/.env
# start mongodb by docker-compose
cd /apps/api/database
docker-compose up -d
# initialize mongodb in root folder
pnpm init-db
# Basic Commands
pnpm dev # Development (including api, web and ios simulator)
pnpm test # Unit tests (including api, web and mobile)
pnpm playwright:install # Install browsers before E2E tests for web
pnpm playwright # E2E tests for web
pnpm storybook # Execute Storybook for web UI components
pnpm storybook:test # Run Storybook interaction tests for web UI components
pnpm build # Production build (including api, web and mobile)While this monorepo shares business logic across platforms, React and React Native maintain independent version life cycles. This is a deliberate architectural choice:
| Concern | Web (Next.js) | Mobile (Expo) |
|---|---|---|
| React Version | Latest stable (via PNPM catalog) | Pinned to Expo SDK requirements |
| Update Cadence | Immediate adoption | Follows Expo SDK release cycle |
| Bundler | Turbopack | Metro |
| Version Coupling | None — independent | Locked to Expo SDK latest compatibility |
Why: Expo SDK releases are tightly coupled to specific React Native and React versions. Attempting to unify versions across platforms would create constant breakage. Turborepo's workspace isolation ensures each app resolves the correct dependency versions without conflict, while @repo/store remains version-agnostic (pure TypeScript, no React dependency).
@repo/store uses dependency injection for platform persistence:
// Web: uses localStorage (default)
const useAuthStore = createAuthStore();
// Mobile: injects expo-secure-store adapter
const useAuthStore = createAuthStore(secureStorageAdapter);This pattern enables shared state logic without platform-specific imports leaking across boundaries.
The mobile app uses react-native-css's useCssElement to bridge Tailwind CSS className props to React Native style objects. All UI components are imported from lib/tw/ — never bare React Native:
// lib/tw/index.tsx — wraps RN components with CSS-in-JS support
import { useCssElement, useNativeVariable } from "react-native-css";
export const View = (props) => useCssElement(RNView, props, { className: "style" });
export const useCSSVariable = useNativeVariable; // theme-aware CSS custom properties
// Usage in screens:
import { View, Text, Pressable } from "@/lib/tw";
<View className="flex-1 items-center justify-center bg-background">This pattern enables the same Tailwind utility classes on both web and native, with dark mode reactively driven by Appearance.setColorScheme() and CSS @media (prefers-color-scheme) overrides. Theme colors defined once in global.css are consumed by both the Tailwind class engine and useCSSVariable() for inline style access.
@repo/i18n provides a single source of truth for all translation strings:
// packages/i18n — shared translations with {appName} interpolation
import { messages, locales, defaultLocale } from "@repo/i18n";
// Web (next-intl): replaces {appName} at build time in getCachedMessages()
// Mobile (i18next): sets defaultVariables: { appName: "Project Manager" }Both next-intl and i18next use {variable} interpolation syntax, enabling the same JSON files to work on both platforms without format conversion.
The mobile app deliberately uses platform-appropriate interactions instead of directly porting web drag-and-drop:
| Action | Web | Mobile | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reorder tasks in column | Drag & drop | Sortable list with orderInProject |
Server-synced ordering, no complex drag on small screens |
| Move task to another column | Drag across columns | Swipe left → iOS ActionSheet / Android Modal | Cross-column drag is poor UX on mobile (screen too small, finger occludes target) |
| Change task status | Click status dropdown | Swipe right → auto-cycle (TODO→IN_PROGRESS→DONE) | One-gesture with haptic feedback, similar to Apple Mail |
| Edit/delete task | Click action menu | Link.Menu native context menu + haptics |
iOS-native pattern via Expo Router's context menu API |
| Filter tasks by status | Dropdown/sidebar | Horizontal scrollable pill bar | Touch-friendly filter chips at board detail level |
| Create board/project/task | Dialog / inline form | FormSheet presentation with sheet grabber | iOS-native modal pattern with keyboard avoidance |
This follows the principle that good cross-platform development means same goals, platform-appropriate means — not 1:1 feature porting.
