THE AirBnB Clone You've been waiting for 🎉

Published 6 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

it's finally time to release this MASSIVE CLONE tutorial for an AirBnB app with Clerk authentication!

For this tutorial, I teamed up with Clerk, probably one of the best ways to add complete user management to your apps.

Clerk is not only limited to React but works with a variety of frameworks, so think twice about rolling your own user auth in the future and try Clerk for free instead!


Airbnb Clone with React Native (Expo Router, Authentication, Reanimated, Clerk)

Join me as I build an epic AIRBNB CLONE with React Native in this 4.5-hour-long build. You'll learn how to do the following in this tutorial (including a lot of FUN):

👉 Use Expo file-based routing
👉 Use Clerk for user authentication
👉 Add Sign-in with Apple and Google Auth
👉 Work with Reanimated for Animations
👉 Create a Parallax effect
👉 Display a Bottom Sheet
👉 Show a Map and use Cluster
