Social Media App Structure

Let us consider which surfaces and components we will need for a simplistic social media app. By surface, we mean what would be a page in web development. That is a big building block of the app, composed of many components presented together on the screen.

Our app will need the following:

• A login surface

• A social media feed surface

• A personal profile surface

We will also create two screens as follows:

• A screen containing favorited posts

• Another one where the user can add their post

We will use fake data for the feed and profile, and a single username and password for logging in. In order to stay on the simpler side of things, we won’t be implementing a registration flow.
