Overview
A Full-Featured Social Dating & Community Platform
Flare Meet is a cross-platform social dating and community app that combines matchmaking, social media, live streaming, and real-time messaging into a single product. Users can discover people nearby, build connections through matching, share content via posts, stories, and reels, join community rooms, and engage through live video streaming with monetization features.
We built the entire app end-to-end in Flutter — covering 25+ feature modules across matching, social feeds, chat, video calling, live streaming, gifts economy, subscriptions, and 19-language localization. The app runs on iOS, Android, Web, macOS, and Windows from a single codebase.
The app is live on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and on the web at flaremeet.app — supporting a global user base with real-time features powered by Socket.io, Supabase Realtime, LiveKit, and Agora.
