I built this app using the third party React Native WkWebView component (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview), but serving a mobile-optimized React website from it so that it can also be accessed on Android via https://www.theroseleague.com. The app itself is 4 MB as a result, yet still feels native due to modern webkit optimizations.
The back-end is .NET Core 2.0 from a docker image on DigitalOcean and SQL Server as the db. I am using .NET Core's memory cache heavily.
Of note, for the live scoring during the episodes, the latest CI dev package (last Friday) of SignalR Core is used. With over 1500 users at this point, so far so good (knock on wood).
App feedback in general, or any questions at all are welcome! And if you personally do not watch Bachelor in Paradise, but could share with people you know that watch the show that would be fantastic.
I'll share this with my GF. I'm a bit amazed how much of a dedicated fanbase the bachelor/bachelorette series has. And most of it is enabled by newer apps. For every hour my gf spends watching the bachelor she probably spends another 3 or 4 listening to podcasts, watching youtube, and watching snap stories about it.
If you haven't already, you should try advertising with one of these snapchat users. As I understand it, they use their snap chat stories to provide commentary on the bachelor with some paid product advertisements. They get hundreds of thousands of views.
