I need a seasoned Android developer to turn my concept for a new social-media experience into a polished, production-ready app. The core goal is to let users create profiles, post updates (text, photo, short video), follow one another, and exchange real-time messages. A clean, modern UI that feels instantly familiar to mainstream users is vital, but I’m equally focused on a robust, scalable Kotlin/Java codebase that can grow as the community does. Key points of the build • Native Android (SDK 24+, Kotlin preferred) • Google Firebase (Auth, Realtime Database or Firestore, Storage, Push) or an equally reliable backend suggestion • Secure login via email, phone, and popular OAuth providers • Feed with likes, comments, basic content moderation flags • In-app chat (Firebase Cloud Messaging or socket alternative) • Responsive design covering phones and small tablets • Unit-tested, well-documented code, handed over in a Git repository Deliverables 1. Signed-off UX mock-ups (Figma or XD) 2. Iterative APKs for testing, culminating in a release-ready build 3. Source code with setup instructions 4. A brief handover call or video walkthrough Acceptance criteria • App installs and runs error-free on Android 8.0+ devices • All listed social features operate smoothly on both Wi-Fi and mobile data • Code passes static analysis and included unit tests • UI matches approved mock-ups within agreed tolerances If you excel at clean architecture, intuitive interfaces, and Firebase integration, let’s talk timelines and milestones so we can bring this community to life.
