Proximity
An open source social media that does not use your data against you
⭐ Inspiration:
Recently I was getting a lot into System Design and scalability stuff so I thought about implementing the classic social media.
Hence, I decided to design and implement Proximity an open-source social media as a hobby project in my free time.
I decided to open source it because newcomers to React Native might find it helpful
PS. UI is Heavily inspired by Instagram as I'm not a designer 🤪, The code is not perfect but I'm still improving it 😄
Please leave a ⭐ as motivation if you liked the idea 😄

🏃 Running the project
To run the project just use the following
- Android
yarn && yarn android
- iOS
yarn && yarn cocoapods && yarn ios
Note: It is recommended to use yarn if you want to run this project as npm skips few dependencies. I am not sure why but this reported by many developers and fixed when they switched to yarn.
But if the issue persists feel free to open an issue and I'll assist you with running the app.
