Needs the companion authentication module running alongside it, or requires stripping out auth pieces to run independently.
News mini-app showcase is a demo project, essentially a small news-reading app, built to show how a separate, independent app can plug into a larger "super app." Think of a super app as an umbrella platform that hosts multiple mini-apps inside it, similar to how WeChat or Grab let you access many services without leaving the main app. This repo is the news-reading piece of that puzzle, part of a broader demonstration called the Super App Showcase. At a high level, the app lets users browse articles and news content. What's interesting is that it doesn't handle user sign-in or account management on its own. Instead, it borrows those screens from a separate authentication module. This is the core idea being demonstrated: different mini-apps can share features built by other teams, so you don't have to rebuild login pages every time you create a new app. The technical approach that makes this possible is called Module Federation, which allows separate codebases to load and use each other's components at runtime. Because of that shared-authentication design, the news app can't fully run on its own unless the auth module's server is also running. You can either run both servers together to see how the mini-app behaves inside the larger super app, or you can strip out the auth pieces entirely if you just want the news app to work independently. The project provides straightforward commands for both scenarios. This repo is aimed at teams exploring super-app architectures, companies that want to let different product squads build and ship features independently, then integrate those features into one parent app. A ride-sharing company, for example, might have one team build a food-ordering mini-app and another build a news feed, both plugging into the same main platform. The project uses React Native (for iOS and Android) and TypeScript, and the README doesn't go into much detail beyond setup and configuration steps.
