🌟 About Umee

Umee (“You-Me”) is a social impact project designed to strengthen human connections and community bonds.
It’s more than just an app—it’s a movement to help familiar faces become friends, welcome newcomers, and foster meaningful interactions through shared activities and interests.

This is your chance to join a founding team of professionals, students, and enthusiasts who are passionate about redefining how we connect, communicate, and collaborate. If selected, you’ll play a pivotal role in the rollout process as a core team member, not just an intern.

🎯 About the Challenge

Participants will design and build a gRPC-powered mobile application with real-time communication functionality. This open-ended challenge invites you to explore creativity and scalability while solving real-world problems.

Why gRPC?

gRPC is a cutting-edge framework for distributed systems, offering:

Compact Data Transmission: Lightweight serialization with Protocol Buffers.
Real-Time Communication: Supports bidirectional streaming for seamless interactions.
Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works across diverse platforms and languages.
Scalability & Performance: Ideal for resource-constrained mobile apps.

🛠️ Requirements

Core Technology:

Use gRPC for backend communication.
Develop a mobile application (Android, iOS, or cross-platform frameworks like Flutter/React Native).

Architecture:

GRPC-based backend for real-time interactions.
Mobile frontend with a user-friendly interface.
GRPC streaming for real-time communication.

Optional Features:

Real-Time Chat: 1:1 messaging and group chats with gRPC streaming.
Push Notifications: Notify users of new messages or events.

📤 What to Submit

GitHub Repository: Contain all source code, documentation, and a detailed README.md.
Architecture/Design Document: Show how backend components interact.
Demo Presentation: Short video showcasing the app in action.
