Social Network Site & App

I’m building a brand-new social networking platform and need both a responsive website and companion mobile apps that feel fast, modern, and intuitive. The core of the product is a rich user profile system tied to a secure real-time messaging experience. Every member must be able to create an account, personalise a public profile, find others easily, and chat one-to-one or in groups without noticeable lag.

Multimedia is central to the concept: users should upload photos, share HD videos, and even go live straight from their phone or webcam. Smooth streaming (WebRTC/RTMP or an equivalent low-latency option), automatic media compression, and cloud storage that scales are therefore must-haves. While a scrolling feed could come later, right now I want to perfect profiles, messaging, and seamless media sharing.

Tech stack is flexible—as long as it results in a responsive web interface (React, Next.js, or similar) plus native-quality iOS and Android apps (Flutter, React Native, or Kotlin/Swift if you prefer). I’ll need a straightforward admin dashboard, push notifications, social/email sign-in, and clean, well-commented code accompanied by deployment documentation. Please outline the tools and hosting services you plan to use and, if possible, point to comparable projects you’ve shipped.

Deliverables
• Production-ready website connected to a scalable backend
• iOS and Android apps published in their respective stores
• Admin panel for user/content management
• Full source code, build scripts, and setup docs

Acceptance criteria
• Sign-up/login, profile edit, follow/friend workflow working end-to-end
• Encrypted messaging with push alerts arriving in <5 s
• Photo/video uploads under standard 4G in <10 s for 50 MB files
• Live stream start time <3 s, stable quality for 30-min sessions
• No blocker-level bugs during a two-week post-launch period

If this scope lines up with your expertise, I’d love to see your approach and timeline.
