I run a cricket platform, Criclive.in, and I am looking to enhance both the website and expand the platform by developing a high-performance native Android application. The objective is to deliver a fast, real-time, and engaging cricket experience for users. The platform should allow fans to follow live matches ball-by-ball, stay updated with the latest cricket news, and interact with other users seamlessly, without performance delays. Scope of Work 1. Android Application Development Develop a native Android application (Kotlin preferred) that replicates and improves the functionality of the Criclive.in website while maintaining high performance and responsiveness. Core Features Live Match Experience Real-time score updates with minimal latency Ball-by-ball commentary updates Smooth UI updates during live matches Optimized performance for continuous data refresh Cricket News Feed Fast and clean article interface Efficient content loading with pagination Mobile-optimized reading experience Local caching for improved performance Fan Interaction Live chat or match-based comment system Real-time messaging capability Simple and responsive interface Authentication Social login integration: Google Sign-In Facebook Login Direct navigation to Live Scores after login Push Notifications Match start alerts Wicket and key match events Breaking cricket news Navigation Simple and intuitive navigation between: Live Scores News Chat / Comments 2.
