Design intuitive, user-friendly wireframes considering layout, user flow, and aesthetics. Pay attention to details like color schemes, fonts, and iconography.
Integrate social features such as user profiles, friends/following mechanisms, and real-time communication (chat or messaging).
Develop core features, including user authentication and profile creation. Test regularly for a smooth user experience.
