CASE STUDY — 07
Convose — Interest-Based Chat
Frontend for a mobile chat app connecting people by shared interests, in real time, across iOS and Android.
React Native
01 — The Problem
Chat UIs live or die on feel
Messaging apps are judged against the best in the world. Lists must scroll at 60fps through thousands of messages, keyboards must never jank, and presence must feel alive.
$ npx react-native run-ios --configuration Release
bundling 1,842 modules
chat list: virtualized, inverted, 60fps
typing indicator latency: live
02 — The Approach
Virtualized everything, native where it counts
Placeholder: describe inverted virtualized lists, image caching, keyboard handling, and the interest-matching UI.
1<FlatList 2 inverted 3 data={messages} 4 windowSize={7} 5 keyExtractor={(m) => m.id} 6 renderItem={({ item }) => <Bubble msg={item} />} 7/>03 — The Architecture
RN client over a real-time backend
The React Native client consumes a real-time messaging backend; the frontend owns presence, chat, discovery, and onboarding flows.
04 — The Results
Shipped to both stores
Placeholder: add store ratings, user counts, or retention impact.
