The problem

A social product has to feel immediate — messages, feeds and notifications arriving without a refresh — while remaining secure enough to hold personal content. Doing that on iOS and Android with a small team rules out maintaining two native codebases.

How it was built

  • Built the application in React Native so a single codebase served both platforms, with platform-specific work isolated to where the platforms genuinely differ.
  • Used Firebase for authentication and real-time synchronisation, with Node.js and Express services alongside it where custom server logic was needed.
  • Built and maintained cross-platform features so behaviour stayed consistent on iOS and Android rather than drifting apart release by release.
  • Worked closely with backend engineers, QA testers and designers to keep functionality and user experience moving together.

Result

  • Released publicly on the Google Play Store and the App Store.
  • Seamless performance maintained across both platforms from one codebase.
  • A feature set — auth, messaging, feeds, notifications — kept in step across two years of development.
