Hey I'm LILIAN! 👋

I've been creating apps since 2013, obsessed with one thing: shrinking the time from idea to first $.

My first app took me 3 months to launch.

The next one? One month.

My latest? Just a single morning.


That approach helped me move from from €100/month to €1K, €2K, €5K… all the way to a €400K month.


But then came the hard part...


One marketing mistake cost me everything — Apple blocked my account. Overnight, I couldn't live off my apps anymore or work on what I loved.

Instead of giving up, I decided to share the battle-tested boilerplate I've perfected across all my apps, so anyone can build a revenue-generating app fast. If I can do it in 8 hours… so can you.


If there's one thing I've learned, it's this:

You don't need months to build a money-making app. You just need the right starting point (and 8 hours).

Frequently Asked Questions

  • You get a complete, production-ready Expo boilerplate designed to help you build and ship real apps in under 8 hours. It includes onboarding flows, authentication, payments, AI features, tracking, deployment setup, 50+ UI components, templates, best-practice guides, and ready-to-use integrations like RevenueCat, Supabase, PostHog, Sentry, Tamagui and more. Think of it as the entire foundation of a modern mobile app—already implemented for you.
  • Expo is the fastest, most reliable way to build cross-platform mobile apps today. You write once—ship to iOS and Android without maintaining two separate codebases. Expo removes the pain of native setup, updates, builds, and store submissions. With EAS (Expo Application Services), you can deploy production builds with a single command. Choosing Expo cuts weeks of setup, maintenance, and debugging that typically slow teams down.
  • You don’t need to be an advanced developer, but some basic React or JavaScript knowledge will help you get the most out of the boilerplate. The project is structured so you can customize screens, add features, and iterate quickly—even if you're not a full-stack engineer. Everything is documented, preconfigured, and designed to be editable without deep technical expertise.
  • Yes. 8-Hour is fully compatible with Cursor and optimized for AI-assisted development. Every file, folder, and integration is deliberately structured and documented so Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI tools can understand the project instantly. That means smarter autocomplete, more accurate refactors, and faster feature building. You can literally build and ship your app side-by-side with AI without fighting the codebase.
  • Lovable is excellent for quickly generating an MVP or exploring ideas, but it’s not optimized for building scalable, monetized, production-grade apps. With Lovable, you’ll eventually need to rebuild core parts: monetization, payment processing, a real database, robust onboarding, analytics, error tracking, and more. 8-Hour gives you all of that from day one—a battle-tested Expo foundation where every essential system is already implemented following industry best practices. Instead of hacking together patches, you start with a solid base that can scale and generate revenue immediately.
  • Yes. Many developers use this boilerplate to deliver high-quality apps to clients in record time. It’s perfect for agencies, freelancers, and indie developers who want to reduce delivery time while increasing quality and margins.
  • Absolutely. Everything is modular and editable—UI, navigation, onboarding steps, paywalls, authentication, database schemas, styling, and more. You're not locked into a rigid template; you get a foundation that accelerates development without limiting creativity.
  • Yes. The project includes production-grade tools like RevenueCat, Supabase, PostHog, Sentry, and EAS deployment. It’s the same tech stack used by top startups, optimized for performance, scalability, and monetization.
  • Yes—Expo ensures your app runs natively on both iOS and Android. All included features, components, and integrations are tested across devices.
  • Yes. The boilerplate is continuously updated as Expo, React Native, and partner services evolve. You’ll receive improvements, new components, integrations, and fixes.
  • Yes. You’ll get access to documentation, examples, setup guides, and support to help you get unstuck quickly. You don’t have to figure everything out alone.
