Social Media App Development Agency
Feeds, profiles, and messaging for a community — not a Facebook replica with no users.
Social products need a reason to post besides 'it's a feed.' We push founders toward a niche, a job (dating-adjacent, creators, local, professional), and moderation from day one.
Realtime feed and chat are solvable. Empty graphs are not. If you cannot name the first 100 users, do not hire us to build recs.

What we build
Profiles and graph
Follow or join — one model.

Chronological v1. Ranking later.
Posts
Text/image. Video if it is the product, quoted separately.
Chat or comments
Pick one as the social primitive in v1 if you can.
Moderation
Report, block, admin. Image scanning optional.

A community of 500 beats a generic network of 12.
Realtime where it matters

FAQ
Can you clone Instagram?
We can ship a niche community app. A full Instagram clone is a company. We will cut reels/live/ads out of v1.
Web too?
Yes when creators need a desktop composer. Mobile-first is the usual consumer path.
AI recommendations?
After you have engagement data. v1 is chronological plus basic signals.
