I need a functional MVP of a photo-sharing web application that lets people sign up, upload pictures, and scroll a dynamic feed in real time. The goal is to prove the core concept quickly while leaving the codebase clean and extensible for future feature releases. Scope of work • Build a responsive front end (React, Vue, or similar) with an intuitive upload flow, grid-style feed, and basic profile page. • Set up a secure back end (Node, Django, or comparable) that stores user data and images in cloud storage, serves the feed, and exposes REST or GraphQL endpoints. • Implement a straightforward authentication layer so new users can register and returning users can log in without friction. • Add the essential social interactions—like and follow—to encourage engagement. • Provide seed data and a short demo video that walks through the main user journeys. Deliverables 1. Source code in a Git repo with clear commit history. 2. Deployment scripts or instructions for a cloud host (Heroku, Vercel, AWS, etc.). 3. A one-page setup guide covering environment variables, build steps, and how to run tests. 4. Brief technical document summarizing architecture decisions and next-phase recommendations. I’m aiming for clean, well-commented code, sensible folder structure, and adherence to common security practices (input sanitization, password hashing). Familiarity with image optimization, lazy loading, and CDN delivery will be appreciated. Please include a concise timeline and note any relevant portfolio pieces that show similar work.
