Introduction:
Social is a networking app similar to Instagram. Every user can create an account and share posts from the phone photos library or change profile photo or search of other users by username. Social is for artists like painters, photographers, singers, etc. to create a portfolio so that they can share it with anyone who wants to see their work. Working of the app is demonstrated in the video below.
Social is implemented with Firebase Auth, Firebase storage and Firebase firestore. Please have a look at the GitHub code to see the implementation.
