Astrale - Horoscope of the Zodiac
๐ About the app
Astrale is an astrology mobile application made with React Native. Uses Expo as a toolchain and Paper for styling and theming.
It also supports multiple languages thanks to i18n, by default comes with texts in both English and Spanish.
Is only published in Android, as Apple is not accepting more Astrology apps, but works for both platforms.
๐ง Run it yourself
The app uses Expo for bootstrapping and as develop environment. To get started, first install the dependencies:
$ yarn || npm install
Then run Expo:
$ expo start
Then you can use your own mobile device to run the app or use an Android/iOS emulator. Yes, Expo is amazing.

๐ค Behind the scenes
(Deprecated, now all the data is local)
A good astrology application needs new data for each day and for each sign soooo.... Python scraper to save the day:
- Data: Comes from a scraper programmed with Python that each day at midnight goes to astrology pages in spanish and english for the data.
- Persistence: The data that python extracts is stored in MongoDB.
- Api: A PHP rest API layer with an API REST that dispatches the data to the application.
- The boss: All of this (deploys, tests, scraping) is possible thanks to a custom Jenkins.
