Frequently Asked Questions
What core features are included in a photo/video sharing app build?
Content feeds, stories, photo and video posting, likes/comments, and real-time notifications - the same proven engagement patterns Instagram uses, rebuilt with your own branding and moderation rules.
Can you add features specific to our niche, like a marketplace or fitness community?
Yes. The feed/stories/engagement structure is a strong foundation we customize with niche-specific features, monetization, and business logic rather than shipping a generic clone.
Do you handle content moderation and reporting tools?
Yes - reporting, moderation, and admin controls are part of a production-ready social app, not an afterthought we bolt on later.
What's the tech stack behind this?
React Native for cross-platform mobile, Firebase for real-time data, AWS for scalable media storage/delivery, and Node.js on the backend.
Can it support millions of users like the real Instagram?
We architect for real growth from day one - CDN-backed media delivery, scalable backend services - so the app doesn't require a rebuild once you gain real traction.
