I need an experienced React Native/Expo developer or small team to build Phase 2 of an existing Canadian student community platform. Phase 1 is complete and includes a [login to view URL] website, Supabase/PostgreSQL backend, institution and campus data, admin dashboard, Vercel deployment, GitHub repository and Resend email infrastructure. The existing backend and database must be retained and extended, not rebuilt. Phase 2 will create proper native iOS and Android applications using React Native with Expo—not a WebView or packaged website. Main requirements: • Student signup, authentication and verification • Student profiles with institution, city, languages and interests • Student discovery, filters and suggested connections • Connection requests and connection management • Communities/groups, posts, comments and reactions • Real-time one-to-one messaging • Events and student activities • In-app and push notifications • Privacy settings, blocking and reporting • Moderation tools and extensions to the existing web admin dashboard • Secure Supabase integration and Row Level Security • Testing and App Store/Google Play submission assistance • Complete source code, documentation and handover Please include examples of React Native/Expo apps you personally developed, links to published apps, relevant Supabase experience, proposed timeline, milestone plan, fixed-price quotation and post-launch support. All code and project assets must belong to the client. The product name, website and detailed specification will be shared privately with suitable shortlisted bidders. Please begin your proposal with “Student Community App” to confirm that you read the requirements.

Hello, I checked your "React Native Developer for Student Community App" project description, it looks like the focus is on delivering a clean, responsive website that works well across all devices. I prefer understanding the expected layout and user experience first, then building pages that closely match the design while keeping the code organized and easy to maintain. Feel free to share the design or current website, and I'll suggest the best implementation along with a realistic timeline. Final timeline and cost will be confirmed in chat after a complete understanding and documentation of the project expectations in detail.

Student Community App. I will first set up a secure Supabase auth flow and sync with the existing Postgres schema to ensure seamless student signup and profile management. Then I’ll build native screens for discovery, messaging, communities, and admin extensions, all with Expo and TypeScript. I’ll integrate push notifications, RLS, and moderation tools, test across iOS/Android, and support App Store/Play submission. I can deliver the complete app in 45 days. Do you have any existing mobile UI design assets or brand guidelines to integrate?

Hello, Student Community App: As a seasoned developer with over 12 years of experience in mobile app development and a heavy focus on React Native, I believe I'm your ideal candidate for this project. I understand the unique demands of a student community app having successfully completed several similar projects. My expertise extends into creating exceptional user experiences through carefully constructed UI/UX designs, developing robust backends, third-party integrations, implementing real-time features like one-to-one messaging and push notifications - all of which are central to your project. I bring forth specific expertise with Supabase/PostgreSQL that aligns perfectly with the system you've already set up for Phase 1. This means I can leverage the existing backend and database structure to extend it as per your needs without needing to start from scratch. I also have extensive experience in deploying applications on Vercel and can ensure we meet your timeline effectively through a well-thought-out milestone plan. In conclusion, my vast skill set, particularly my specialization in React Native along with proven experience working on similar projects through all phases of development—from UI/UX design to launch—makes me an invaluable asset for ambitious projects like yours.

Student Community App Phase 2 should extend the existing Supabase/PostgreSQL foundation, not recreate it. The key is building a true native React Native/Expo experience while keeping authentication, RLS, real-time messaging, communities, notifications and the existing admin workflows consistent with the Phase 1 platform. I can extend the existing backend and build the iOS/Android app around the current data model, with secure Supabase integration, student discovery/connections, communities, messaging, events, notifications, privacy/reporting and moderation. I will also handle testing, production builds, App Store/Google Play submission support, documentation and clean handover so the client retains the complete codebase. Main query: Is the Phase 1 Supabase schema and existing RLS already finalized, or are there known backend changes required specifically for Phase 2? Please ping me to get started and get outstanding results. Thanks!!!

Student Community App Because Phase 1 is already live with Supabase, Vercel, admin tools, and structured institution data, this Phase 2 work is really about turning an existing platform into a real mobile product rather than starting from zero. The sensitive part will be extending the current backend cleanly for messaging, notifications, privacy controls, reporting, and moderation so the apps feel native while staying tightly aligned with the web system. My background fits projects where React Native/Expo sits on top of an existing TypeScript/Supabase stack, especially when the client wants the current database preserved. That matters here, since features like suggested connections, groups, reactions, and student verification are much smoother when the mobile app is planned around the present schema, permissions, and admin workflows instead of treating them as separate systems. I can also structure the delivery in milestones so progress is visible feature by feature. - Are push notifications expected through Expo Notifications first, or do you already have a preferred notification provider in mind? - Will student verification be email/domain-based, document-based, or tied to institution records already stored in the platform? - Should moderation actions from mobile sync into the existing admin dashboard in real time, or is near-real-time acceptable?
