I’m building a social-networking website whose heart is a robust messaging system. Users should be able to register, log in, and exchange real-time private or group messages from any modern browser. Beyond that single core feature, the codebase needs to be clean and extensible so I can bolt on user profiles or an activity feed later without a rewrite. Here’s what I need from you: • Design and develop the front-end (responsive, accessible, modern look). • Build the back-end API and real-time messaging layer (WebSockets or equivalent). • Set up secure user authentication with basic account management. • Configure a relational or NoSQL database to persist conversations. • Deploy to a cloud host of your choice and hand over all source code and documentation. I’m open to your preferred stack—React, Vue, Svelte, Next.js, Node.js, Django, Laravel, Go, or anything else you’re confident will deliver smooth real-time chat and solid security. Please share a concise plan of attack, the main technologies you’d like to use, and links to similar messaging or real-time projects you’ve shipped. I’ll review proposals as they arrive and move fast once I see the right fit.
