Cross-Platform Social Networking App

I’m launching a new social-networking application and need an experienced mobile developer to take it from concept to live releases on both iOS and Android. The app will revolve around user profiles, a real-time content feed, direct and group messaging, rich media posting (photos and short videos), and push notifications to keep the community engaged.

Clean, well-documented code and a scalable, secure backend are essential. I’m open to React Native, Flutter, or truly native approaches—convince me with the stack you’re most comfortable with and why it suits a high-traffic social platform. Modern UI/UX is a must, so plan on a polished design that feels at home on each operating system.

Deliverables I’m expecting:
• An interactive prototype (Figma or similar) for early feedback
• Fully functional iOS and Android builds ready for App Store / Google Play submission
• Source code with inline documentation and a brief setup guide
• Lightweight web admin panel for user/content moderation and basic analytics

When you respond, please outline:
1. The tech stack you recommend
2. Milestone breakdown with realistic timeframes
3. Examples of social or messaging apps you’ve shipped

I’ll supply branding assets and a rough feature map once we agree on scope. Looking forward to seeing how you can bring this community to life.
