Social Networking Android App

I’m ready to bring a brand-new social networking experience to Android and need an experienced mobile developer who can take the idea from concept to Google Play launch.

Scope
The project covers the complete build of an Android app whose core purpose is to let users connect, share updates, and interact in real time. I will supply wireframes, a detailed feature list, and a style reference once we open a chat, but the high-level flow includes onboarding, a personalized feed, user profiles, and in-app messaging.

Key expectations
• Written in Kotlin (Android Studio) and aligned with the latest Material guidelines
• Clean, well-commented code that I can maintain or hand to another dev later
• Secure authentication (email, Google, or other providers we agree on)
• Push notifications and basic analytics integrated
• Back-end connectivity—Firebase is perfectly fine, but I’m open to other stacks if you can justify them
• APK builds for staged testing and a signed release build for the final hand-off

Deliverables
1. Full source code repository
2. Compiled APKs for QA and release
3. Short setup document so another developer can run the project locally
4. One round of post-launch bug fixes (minor) within an agreed window

Timeline
Please include a realistic schedule in your proposal; I have internal milestones but can be flexible if the reasoning is solid.

Share links to at least two social or community-driven apps you’ve built, highlight any Play Store listings, and tell me what you personally handled on each project. I’ll review portfolios as they come in and reach out to the best fit for a quick call.

Thank you—I’m excited to see what you’ve built and to create something exceptional together.
