I’m ready to bring a new social-networking experience to Android and need a developer who can take the idea from concept to a polished Google-Play-ready release. This project is strictly for an Android build (no iOS or desktop version in this phase), so your expertise with native Android development—whether in Kotlin or modern Java—is essential. The core goal is to let users create profiles, connect, post updates, and interact in real time. Think of the familiar social feed mechanics (likes, comments, follows) blended with chat, push notifications, and media sharing. I have the user flows sketched, but I’m looking for you to refine the UX, handle the full stack of mobile features, and integrate a scalable backend—Firebase, Supabase, or a custom REST API are all on the table as long as they support authentication, cloud storage, and real-time updates. Key deliverables • An MVP Android app packaged and signed for Google Play internal testing • Clean, well-commented source code stored in a private Git repo • API or backend integration fully documented • Basic unit tests covering critical paths • A brief hand-off guide so future iterations can move quickly Once the MVP is live and stable, there’s room to expand with advanced features (stories, AR filters, monetization options), but for now I want a tight, smooth first version. If you have a track record of shipping social or community apps and can demonstrate thoughtful UI/UX decisions, let’s get started.
