I’m ready to move forward with a dedicated mobile app that centres on one key social feature: fast, reliable messaging. My previous projects in this space have taught me the typical pain points—scalability, smooth real-time updates, and an inviting UI—so I’ll recognise solid solutions when I see them and can make decisions quickly. Here’s what I need from you: develop a full social media-style app for iOS and Android whose core is an intuitive chat experience. The user flow should feel familiar—open the app, land in conversations, send text, images or short videos, and receive push notifications instantly. Everything from authentication to data storage must be production-ready and secure. I’ll provide brand assets and wireframes; you bring the optimum tech stack, whether that’s native Swift/Kotlin or a cross-platform approach like Flutter or React Native. As milestones, I’ll review the initial clickable prototype, then the fully functional messaging module, and finally a polished build uploaded to TestFlight or an APK for QA. Clean, well-commented code, concise documentation, and a smooth hand-over at the end will complete the engagement. If you’re confident you can ship a messaging-first social app that performs flawlessly under load, let’s talk timelines and kick this off.
