The framework consists of a few loosly-coupled components which are meant to work well together.
A component toolkit for React Native and React Native Web. The UI building blocks of an Aven app.
The database abstraction is a set of loosly-coupled modules to connect to databases, perform authentication and validation, and compute derived data from source documents.
Aven apps use React Navigation to share navigation logic and views between the web and react native. Aven Navigation is (will be) a set of navigators that are designed to be idiomatic on every platform, yet still customizable for many occasions.
A CLI and modular tooling environment to launch React Native apps on any platform, using a variety of bundlers and deployment mechanisms under the hood. This exists right now as our development environment, but is very rough.
