Performance & metrics

  • 60fps native-feeling render cycle (AOT Compiled)
  • Optimized state management for low-memory devices

Why I built it

The anime community often lacks dedicated, fast, and real-time platforms focused on specific fandoms. I wanted to create a fluid social experience where users could discuss episodes and share content seamlessly without the noise of mainstream social media.

Architecture & decisions

The client is built with Flutter (Dart) to provide a native-feeling, 60fps experience across both iOS and Android from a single codebase. The backend heavily utilizes Firebase for secure authentication and WebSocket connections for instant, real-time message delivery and state synchronization.
