What Is This App?

It's a React Native app built with Expo (SDK 54), running on the Hermes JavaScript engine. The backend is WordPress with a custom REST API. The app was built by an entity called "forty-five-press" according to the Expo config.

    If one has it set to default-deny Javascript, a lot of websites don't work, because many web developers don't develop websites that work without Javascript today.

    Historically, websites did a better job of falling back.
