Social Photo & Video Platform

I’m building a brand-new social media space centred on effortless photo and video sharing. The idea is simple: users open the app, upload their visual story, and instantly see it appear in a dynamic feed that encourages discovery and interaction. My priority right now is the core content-sharing experience—smooth uploads, fast playback, intuitive browsing, and lightweight engagement tools (likes, comments, basic follow). Profile creation and real-time messaging can wait until the next phase; for this first release I want to polish the sharing workflow and make it feel addictive in the best possible way.

I’m looking for a full-cycle build: clean UI/UX (mobile-first, but responsive for web), a scalable backend that handles media compression and storage efficiently, and a feed algorithm that keeps fresh content in front of users. If you prefer React Native, Flutter, or another modern framework let me know; I’m flexible on the stack as long as it delivers quick load times and a straightforward deployment path to iOS, Android, and the web.

Key deliverables for this milestone:
• Functional prototype with user sign-up/login and secure media upload
• Real-time feed displaying photos and videos in reverse-chronological order
• Basic interaction tools (like, comment, follow/unfollow)
• Admin dashboard to monitor uploads, flag content, and manage users
• Documentation covering architecture, API endpoints, and deployment steps

Clean code, clear commits, and open communication are essential. If you’ve shipped a visual-first social app before—or have deep experience with media handling, CDN integration, and push notifications—I’d love to see your portfolio and discuss how we can bring this platform to life.
