[chataway]

Building Instant group chat for nearby loosely affiliated people. (does the world need yet another chat app?!, surprisingly it does!)

Unlocks value and solves problems of current options. Maintains some privacy, keeps out randos (no, isn’t one of those been done million times, who is around you app just based on GPS).

The magic happens in the backend, looking for someone who will focus on development of all server-side logic, You can make mobile apps that can handle lots of concurrent chats/chatrooms, thousands of users. It starts out simple but gets complex, lots of interesting problems to solve. More concerned about it works than how it looks, so basic frontend skills would be nice, but again back matters more Basic MVP already built with React Native. So you are not building from scratch, but adding features (some very basic like social login and images) then more complex. Later can go native app for iOS/Android if needed.

Based in the Bay Area would be nice but not a requirement. Built other chat apps before or something like that? Say hi. email in profile.
