Build a social media app with AI

Orbit generates social apps — feeds, profiles, follows, and likes — with realtime updates via Supabase subscriptions.

Build a Social Media App with AI

Social builds include a feed with posts, like and follow actions, profile pages, and realtime updates through Supabase's realtime channels — so new posts appear without a refresh.

In plain English

A social app is a feed where people post, react, and follow. Orbit builds the feed with realtime updates, so new posts appear without a refresh.

How it works in Orbit

A social app is a feed where people post, react, and follow. Orbit builds the feed with realtime updates through Supabase subscriptions, so new posts appear without a refresh.

Feeds, posts, and reactions

Orbit generates a feed of posts with likes and comments, profile pages, and follow mechanics — the core loop of a social product.

  • Post feed
  • Like and comment actions
  • Profile pages
  • Follow/unfollow

Realtime without polling

Supabase realtime channels push new posts and reactions to connected clients. Open two tabs and a post in one shows up in the other.

  • Realtime channels
  • Instant post delivery
  • No refresh needed

Moderation and safety

Social products need guardrails. Orbit can add report flows and moderation surfaces, with content stored so it can be reviewed.

  • Report flows
  • Moderation queue
  • Content policy hooks
  1. Describe the social loop

    Posts, reactions, follows, and feeds.

  2. Generate the app

    Orbit builds the feed and profiles.

  3. Verify realtime

    Watch posts appear live across tabs.

  4. Add safety rails

    Reports and moderation before launch.

The challenge

Try it yourself

Run this one on a competitor first — then on Orbit. Same prompt, and keep score.

Build

Try this one elsewhere first.

Open two social apps you've built in two browser tabs and post in one. The one where the other tab updates live is the realtime one.

Research

Ask a research tool to go deep on one topic.

Then ask Orbit. Compare how many rounds it runs, how many sources it actually reads — we target 65+ — and whether every claim in the final report has a link attached. Bring a bigger coffee mug.

Chat

Ask a plain chatbot the same question.

One just talks. Orbit's agent actually searches the web, runs code, reads your files, and comes back with something done. Compare how many tabs you opened and how many are still open when you're finished.

Image & video

Generate the same image, then edit it.

Ask two tools for the same hero shot, then ask both to recolor it, fill in the background, and animate it. Compare who hands you a first draft and who keeps refining in the same conversation.

How Orbit builds it

  1. Describe what you need

    One prompt: the workflow, the screens, who uses it.

  2. Watch Orbit plan the build

    The planner turns your spec into a phase-by-phase build with the right stack.

  3. Generate and verify

    Code is written into the sandbox, typechecked, and fixed before preview.

  4. Provision and preview

    Supabase schema, auth, and storage are provisioned; the live preview unlocks.

  5. Iterate in place

    Ask for changes — Orbit edits the existing app instead of starting over.

What a Build a Social Media App with AI build includes

Product surface

The screens and flows your users actually interact with.

Data model

Tables, relations, and RLS provisioned in a schema-isolated Supabase app.

Auth & roles

Sign-in and role-scoped permissions where the use case needs them.

Live preview

A running app you can click through and share immediately.

Frequently asked questions

Does Orbit handle realtime feeds?

Yes — Supabase realtime subscriptions push new posts and likes to the UI without polling or refresh.

Can the feed handle many users?

The feed queries Supabase with indexes and can use views for hot feeds; pagination keeps large feeds fast as the user base grows.

Are images supported in posts?

Yes — posts can include image uploads via Supabase Storage, with the URLs stored on the post record.
