About the Project

ChirpFeed is a real-time social media platform built as a full-featured microblogging application. The platform allows users to post short-form content, follow other users, engage through likes and comments, and receive real-time updates on their timeline.

The project was developed to demonstrate scalable social media architecture with modern mobile-first design principles, real-time data synchronization, and a polished user experience.

Requirements & Objectives

Build a complete microblogging experience with user profiles, timelines, and content feeds.
Implement real-time content updates without manual refresh.
Support user-to-user interactions including follows, likes, replies, and reposts.
Deliver a responsive, native-feeling mobile interface with smooth animations.
Ensure scalable architecture for concurrent users and high-frequency updates.

What kept the experience fast

A WebSocket-based sync layer pushes new posts and notifications to follower feeds without any manual refresh.

Content loads with pagination and lazy loading, and a modular SwiftUI component system keeps rendering efficient.

Local caching cuts repeat network calls so the feed stays responsive even on weaker connections.
