Create Social Networking Mobile App

I’m starting a brand-new social networking platform and need a developer who can take the idea from concept to a polished, production-ready mobile app. The core focus is on human connection, so smooth real-time interaction and an intuitive user experience are critical.

Key features I need implemented:
• Messaging / chat that supports one-to-one and group conversations in real time
• Customisable user profiles with basic bio, photo, and follower / following counts

Beyond those essentials, I’m open to your recommendations on tech stack and architecture—whether you favour Swift/Kotlin, React Native, Flutter, or another proven approach, I’m interested in what will deliver a fast, secure, and scalable result on both iOS and Android.

I’ll provide wireframes and brand guidelines; you’ll handle UI refinement, backend integration, authentication, push notifications, and deployment to the app stores. Code should be well-documented, and I’d like periodic builds so I can test milestones on actual devices.

If you have a track record of launching social apps with real-time chat and robust profile systems, let’s discuss your proposed solution, timeline, and any questions you have about the specs.
