DuoFeed — Mindful Social Media App Development

Overview

DuoFeed is a next-generation social app designed to make online sharing more intentional. Instead of endless scrolling, users post short videos, audio reflections, photos, and moods, building a more mindful and emotionally connected feed. The goal: create a space for authentic self-expression that feels human, not habitual.

My Role

As the Lead Mobile Developer, I worked closely with founder Beverly Pell to design, build, and refine DuoFeed from concept to beta. I led the entire front-end architecture using React Native (Expo) and integrated Supabase for backend services, user authentication, and media storage. Every feature was crafted to balance rich functionality with simplicity and speed.

Process

The focus was on creating a product that felt calm, responsive, and intuitive — while supporting complex features under the hood. I built a flexible social feed supporting video, audio, and image posts with compression, upload progress, and caching for seamless playback.
Key Features
🎥 Media Sharing: Upload and play short videos, audio clips, and images directly in-feed.
😊 Mood Tagging: Let users express emotions with predefined mood icons.
📍 Location Tagging: GPS + reverse geocoding for story context.
🧭 Dual Feed Experience: Switch easily between Friends and Discovery modes.
💬 Real-Time Comments & Likes: Built on optimized Supabase triggers.
🔒 Invite-Only Access: Secure email-based onboarding and password reset flow.
🔔 Push Notifications: Event-driven system for user activity alerts.Throughout development, I implemented video/audio playback, push notifications, invite email functions, and optimized media caching and UI performance.

Results

DuoFeed has entered external beta testing with its first 50+ users and is preparing for launch on the App Store and Google Play. The app’s seamless design, emotional depth, and strong technical foundation make it a standout example of how thoughtful engineering can bring humanity back to social media. redefine how we connect and share in the digital age.
