The Social App challenges we solve
Real-time feeds are architecturally complex
Fan-out-on-write, activity feeds, and live notifications at scale require careful backend design from day one. Getting it wrong means a painful migration at 10K users.
Engagement loops make or break social apps
Likes, comments, shares, notifications, streaks — the engagement mechanics are the product. We design psychological loops that keep users coming back.
Content moderation can't be an afterthought
Social apps without moderation tools become unusable fast. We build reporting, blocking, and AI content moderation from v1 so you're not firefighting post-launch.

Frequently asked questions
Can you build a social app with real-time features?
Yes. We use WebSockets for real-time feeds, messaging, and notifications. We built Twice (6K+ users) and Sober Bet (20M+ views) with full real-time social features.
Can you build creator monetization for social apps?
Yes. Subscriptions, pay-per-post, tips/donations, and premium content gating via Stripe and RevenueCat. We've built monetization flows for multiple creator platforms.
How long does a social app take to build?
Core social MVP (profiles + feed + messaging + notifications) takes 20–30 days. Full creator platforms with monetization and content moderation take 6–10 weeks.
