Overview

A media brand wanted a owned community space beyond third-party platforms. itechvertical delivered web and mobile apps with feeds, groups, live chat, and moderation tooling that could scale with viral moments.

The challenge

  • Real-time messaging at high concurrency without dropped connections
  • Content moderation workflows for staff and community leaders
  • Discovery features that surface relevant groups and conversations
  • Privacy controls and reporting flows users could trust

Our approach

We built a React Native app and responsive web client on a Node.js backend with WebSocket channels. Moderation queues, automated flagging, and admin analytics shipped alongside the member experience.

  • Topic-based feeds with algorithmic and chronological modes
  • Group spaces with roles, events, and media sharing
  • Push notifications and in-app message delivery
  • Trust & safety dashboard for the internal team
