Wtf does this do

This is a complete, full-stack e-commerce application you can use as a learning project or starting template. It has three parts working together: a mobile shopping app built with React Native and Expo (so it runs on both iPhone and Android), an admin web dashboard for managing the store, and a backend API built with Node.js and Express that connects everything. The mobile app covers the typical shopping experience, browsing products with an image slider, adding items to a cart or favorites list, entering a shipping address, and checking out with Stripe payments. Sign-in supports Google and Apple login via a service called Clerk. The admin dashboard lets a store owner manage products (adding, editing, setting prices, uploading images), view and manage orders, see customer details, and check live analytics. Background tasks like order processing use a tool called Inngest, and error tracking runs through Sentry. The codebase includes setup instructions for all three parts and lists the environment variables (API keys for Stripe, Clerk, Cloudinary for images, and Sentry) needed to run it yourself. It was deployed on a hosting service called Sevalla.
