I’m ready to commission a full-featured social media application that mirrors the core experience of Instagram and runs natively on both iOS and Android. You’ll own the build end-to-end, using Firebase on the back-end for real-time data, notifications, and user management. Key deliverables • Modern, responsive UI/UX that feels instantly familiar to Instagram users on phones and tablets • Core features: sign-up & login (email, phone, social), editable user profiles, feed with photo/video posts, 24-hour stories, likes, comments, repost/share, user-to-user DMs, and robust search across users, hashtags, and posts • Push notifications wired through Firebase Cloud Messaging • Web-based admin console to moderate content, manage users, and view analytics I’m open to your preferred cross-platform stack (React Native, Flutter, or separate native builds) so long as performance and polish remain top-tier. When you respond, please outline: 1. A high-level development plan with milestones and an estimated timeline 2. Your total project cost with any phased payment schedule you recommend 3. Links to previous, comparable apps you’ve shipped (App Store / Play Store or APKs) Code should be clean, well-documented, and ready for future feature expansion. I’ll shortlist proposals that demonstrate clear technical approach, realistic scheduling, and strong design sensibility.
