Build a Social Media Posting App
Create a modern social platform where users can share thoughts, images, and videos in real time, follow others, and engage in an interactive newsfeed.Social media apps are some of the most widely used mobile apps globally. Building one gives you hands-on experience with user-generated content, live updates, feed algorithms, and scalable backend infrastructure—all core to modern app development.
Enable users to create posts, upload media, like/comment/share, and follow others. Support notifications, hashtags, and trending content for engagement.
User Profiles & Following System
Let users create public profiles and follow/unfollow other users for personalized feeds.
Post Creation with Media
Allow users to create text, image, or video posts and add hashtags or mentions.
Feed with Likes & Comments
Display posts from followed users in a chronological or algorithmic feed with interaction options.
Push Notifications
Send real-time alerts for likes, comments, new followers, and mentions.
Users create accounts and build their profiles. They post content that appears in their followers' feed. All interactions (likes, comments, follows) are stored in the backend and trigger notifications or feed updates.
- Users register, log in, and update their profile photo and bio.
- Create text/image/video posts with hashtags and mentions.
- Posts appear in a scrollable feed with real-time updates.
- Users can like, comment, share, and bookmark posts.
- Notifications are pushed for key interactions.
