Challenge
The client needed a cross-platform mobile app with real-time messaging, push notifications, and complex feed ranking algorithms — all within a tight launch timeline.
Existing backend could not support WebSocket-based real-time features at scale without a significant re-architecture.
Solution
Delivered a React Native app targeting both iOS and Android from a single codebase, reducing development time by 40%.
Implemented WebSocket-based real-time messaging with offline message queuing and delivery receipts.
Optimized infinite feed scrolling with intelligent pre-fetching and local caching strategies for sub-200ms load times.
Integrated Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) and APNs for reliable cross-platform push notifications.
Impact
50,000+ daily active users reached within 3 months of launch
