QuickThread — Chat App

With only 5 screens, every one had to earn its place. QuickThread is a compact chatting app for iOS and Android — login, contact list, chat thread, and settings — taken from quick Figma wireframes to a full React Native build with real-time messaging. The goal was a minimal, focused chat experience rather than a stripped-down version of a bloated one, so scoping happened up front rather than trimming a bigger app down after the fact. Messaging runs on a real-time database rather than polling, since visible lag defeats the purpose of a chat app even at small scale.

A lightweight, working chat app that demonstrates both a fast design-to-build workflow and solid real-time messaging fundamentals in a small footprint.
