+# Example Apps Simplification Plan
+
+**Created:** 2025-12-27
+**Status:** Planning Phase
+**Goal:** Simplify all example apps to minimal, focused demonstrations of the native-update plugin
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Objectives
+
+### Primary Goal
+Create **ultra-simple** example apps that demonstrate ONLY the native-update plugin functionality with zero unnecessary complexity.
+
+### Key Principles
+1. **One clear purpose per app** - Show the plugin working, nothing else
+2. **Minimal dependencies** - Only what's absolutely required
+3. **Simple code structure** - Easy to understand and modify
+4. **Clear demonstrations** - "Change this text and deploy" approach
+5. **No side features** - No routing, state management libraries, complex UI components
+
+---
+
+## 📱 App 1: react-capacitor (Frontend Example)
+
+### Current State Analysis
+**Location:** `example-apps/react-capacitor/`
+
+**Current Issues:**
+- May have complex component structure
+- Possibly using advanced React features unnecessarily
+- Multiple pages/routes when we only need one
+- Advanced state management when simple useState would work
+- Complex UI when we just need a demo
+
+### Target State
+
+**Single Page Application:**
+```

+
+---
+
+## 🔄 Execution Order
+
+1. **react-capacitor** (Frontend) - 1.5 hours
+   - Most visible to users
+   - Sets the tone for simplicity
+
+2. **node-express** (Backend) - 2.5 hours
+   - Simpler than Firebase
+   - Good for quick local testing
+
+3. **firebase-backend** (Backend) - 2 hours
+   - More complex due to Firebase setup
+   - Alternative for users preferring serverless
+
+**Total Estimated Time:** 6 hours
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Risk Assessment
+
+### Potential Issues
+
+1. **Breaking existing functionality**
+   - **Mitigation:** Test each simplification step
+   - **Rollback plan:** Git commits for each major change
+
+2. **Over-simplification**
+   - **Mitigation:** Ensure core plugin features still demonstrated
+   - **Balance:** Simple but functional
+
+3. **Documentation gaps**
+   - **Mitigation:** Create README before simplifying code
+   - **Verification:** Test setup from README
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Notes
+
+- Keep this plan updated as we discover complexity during execution
+- Track actual time vs estimated time
+- Document any deviations from plan
+- User requested "as simple as possible, no side bullshit" - this is our north star
+
+---
+
+**Next Step:** Create tracking document and begin execution with react-capacitor
