Assets Unity Social Network App Template

Hello everyone. We worked on this project for several months. The project functionality is a kind of social network, similar to Facebook. I use Firebase as backend. I decided to publish it to the asset store in the "Template" section. Maybe this project will help someone in solving their problems. Do you think someone will be interested in a non-game project made on Unity?
Here are the main features:

1. Registration/ Email verification
   
2. Login system
   
3. User profile (Set image profile from camera/gallery)
   
4. Friend list (invite, remove, add). Friends. Requested. Pending. Search
   
5. View user profile
   
6. Make post (text, image, video) from camera or gallery
   
7. Post likes system
   
8. Post comments
   
9. Endless news feed with no memory leak and performance down
   
10. Filter news feed. See your posts, posts only friends, or posts of all users
    
11. Friend messaging system/chat
    
12. Send direct message to user
    
13. Native emoji support
    
14. Auto detect and add clickable links in text
    
15. Firebase backend
    
16. Control quality of upload image
    
17. Check online status, last activity
    
18. Automatically loads profile photos with different sizes (1024, 512, 256, 128) for better app performance
    
19. Automatically convert any users video to mp4 with H.256 codec on server side for better app performance
    
20. See when user typing message
    
21. Firebase push notifications
    
22. Well structured database. The query time does not depend on the size of the database.
    
23. Count of unread messages, friends post

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting the friends news feed to work, the world news feed works fine. Also I cant get the likes\comments # value, and friends\pending # value to increase.

any help would be appreciated.

Thankyou.

 

Hello,

It looks like you did not install firebase cloud methods. Check this window for yourself.



You can look at this at the end of the tutorial.

So is it just me, or when the object pooling pulls new feeds into the scrollrect, the scroll goes all crazy and springs around? Because that's a real eye sore when the scrollview jumps around when loading in new feeds. Am i missing something, or are other experiencing this also?

 

Hello,
Can you show it on the video?
We need to see what the problem is

No reply? Was looking into Optimized ScrollView Adapter from the asset store. Can you incorporate something like this? Looks like it would optimize your scrolling issues in your package. I see your promo video doesnt show this issue and i know ive talked to others that also have this same issue. Its very buggy when reloading the feeds during pooling. thanks

 

Hello,
Does this happen on a mobile device too? Try doubling the scroll pool size and "Auto Load Count"

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting multiple images in the chat window.
It takes more than several seconds.
Sometimes the app is closed while loading the images.

Thank you.

 

Hello,
Do you mean one-by-one picture message in chat? Or have you implemented the display of several pictures in one message?

Best regards,
Uni-Bit Studio Team

 

Hello,

I mean multiple one-by-one pictures from multiple users in chat.
It takes several seconds displaying previous images when users enter chat room.
It would be more great template, if it provides infinite scrolling or automatic saving previous content in chat room at local device.

Best regards,

If you want to use "Caching" i suggest integrating Davinci. This is a great way to save images to easily pull them up at runtime. It also takes significantly less time to load images. As for infinite scrolling, its a bit of a hassle to do this when each feed loads with different sizes. The app already uses a sort of infinite scrolling by recycling the feeds and then reloads them. Some fine tuning could be established but Unibit are currently designing their new FPS asset. Join the Discord and you may find more useful resources.
