Deep Linking in React Native Was a Mess — So I Built a Package to Fix It Deep linking is one of those things every React Native app eventually needs… and almost nobody enjoys implementing. On paper, it’s simple: Open a link like myapp://profile/123 → take the user to their profile screen. In reality, it quickly turns into a mess. The app might be closed (cold start) Or already open (warm start) You might need to support universal links ( https://myapp.com/... ) The user might not be authenticated yet You end up hardcoding URLs all over your codebase And suddenly, something that should take an hour turns into a fragile system full of edge cases.
