Overview

A mobile app developed for the anime community, featuring real-time messaging and commenting via WebSockets.

Why It Exists?

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.

Key Features

  • Cross-platform support (iOS & Android)
  • Real-time WebSocket messaging and threads
  • Secure Firebase Authentication
  • Dynamic UI with fluid animations
  • Optimized state management for low-end devices
