Hermes

While this app is named for the Greek god of messages, Hermes is a mobile news app built with React Native and Expo that delivers real-time news from the New York Times API.

This was designed with an editorial aesthetic heavily inspired by the NYT masthead, the high-contrast serif typography, a strict black and red palette, and fluid animations throughout.

Hermes v1.0.0 features a hero feed with category-based browsing, debounced keyword search, article bookmarking, an in-app WebView reader, skeleton loading states, and error handling with retry support.

Built on a clean feature-based architecture with a normalized API layer, TanStack Query for server state, and Reanimated 4 for UI-thread animations.
