Lightwork is a volunteer task management app for groups that organize collective work. Members join groups, post tasks that need volunteers, and sign up to help — with real-time updates powered by Firestore.

Universal across iOS, Android, and web from a single Expo codebase. Shipping a mobile app solo means owning every layer: native config plugins, EAS build pipelines, OTA vs. store-release gating, App Store and Play Console submissions, privacy manifests, deep links, push notifications, and an emulator-backed test suite that runs the same Firestore rules CI runs against.

105 integration + rules tests against the Firebase emulator, Playwright web E2E, and Maestro mobile E2E — all in the standard pre-push loop.
