Social Group Chat App Build

I’m creating “Bakes Chat,” a lightweight real-time messaging application focused on smooth group conversations. The core deliverable I need from you is a fully-functioning chat front-end and back-end that lets users:

• Sign up or sign in instantly through common social media providers (OAuth) – no email registration flow required.
• Create and join multiple group rooms, with messages appearing to everyone in real time.
• See new messages without refreshing, thanks to WebSocket or an equally responsive technology.

I’m flexible on whether you craft this for web, mobile, or a responsive hybrid stack; what matters most is a clean, modern UI, solid real-time performance, and code that’s easy for me to extend later with extras like file sharing or emoji reactions.

Please outline the framework you prefer (for example React + Firebase, Flutter, Node + Socket.io, etc.), the database you’ll use, and a brief milestone plan so I know how we’ll move from authentication to live group chat and final deployment.

Acceptance criteria will be:

1. Social login works with at least one major provider end-to-end.
2. Users can create, join, leave, and delete group rooms.
3. Messages appear across all connected clients in under one second.
4. Codebase is handed over with clear setup instructions and minimal dependencies.

If this aligns with your expertise, let’s discuss the stack and timeline so we can launch Bakes Chat quickly.
