Project Description
I’m building a new Android-only social media app focused on two pillars: rich media sharing and a Stories feed. The experience should feel familiar to users of today’s visual networks, yet remain lightweight and smooth on a wide range of devices.
Key requirements
• Seamless integration with Snapchat’s SDK so that users can sign in with, share to, or pull content from their Snapchat accounts. If you have a preferred method for handling Snapchat’s Login Kit or Creative Kit, let me know—flexibility is welcome as long as the final flow is frictionless.
• Core features: photo / video uploads (both from camera and gallery), an auto-expiring Stories carousel, basic reactions, and a clean, swipe-driven interface.
• Modern Android stack—Kotlin, Android Studio, MVVM (or an equally maintainable architecture), Jetpack components for navigation, data binding, and lifecycle management.
• Cloud back-end is already in place (Firebase); you’ll wire up authentication, storage, and push notifications.
• Source code should be neatly documented, with a short README that explains environment setup and the build process. An APK for testing must be supplied with each milestone.
Acceptance criteria
1. App installs and opens without crashes on Android 10+.
2. Users can create an account, post media, and view Stories; all data syncs instantly via Firebase.
3. Snapchat integration passes review and shares correctly.
4. Code passes lint checks and is organised for future feature additions.
If this stack and scope fit your expertise, outline your proposed timeline and any prior work that showcases similar media-driven Android apps.
