Scrap is the way to stay in touch with the people you love when you can’t be on the phone every day.

From the repo root, start the backend first (for the "Send notification" button):

cd backend && npm install && npm run dev

Runs at http://localhost:3000. Use EXPO_PUBLIC_API_URL in the mobile app to point to this URL (or your machine's LAN IP when using a physical device).

From the repo root:

npm start

Or run the Expo app from the mobile folder:

cd mobile && npx expo start

Set EXPO_PUBLIC_API_URL so the app hits the backend (e.g. copy mobile/.env.example to mobile/.env and set the URL). Then press i for iOS simulator or scan the QR code with Expo Go.
