About the Customizable Twitter Spaces Clone
We, at GeekyAnts, are big on community. This made us huge fans of Twitter Spaces. With one click, it is simple to hop onto a huddle-like environment where the conversations are organic and fun. This aspect has made Spaces one of our go-to mediums for engaging with the community.However, for our internal communities, we wanted to use a native platform that mimics Twitter Spaces but has the GeekyAnts flavor. So we decided to create one.
Main Modules
Room
A virtual space within which the audio-video interaction between peers occurs. The user flow is made to be intuitive and simple to understand.
Peer
An object returned by 100ms SDKs containing all information about a user (name, role, audio/video tracks, etc). This allows easy management of users and connections.
Role
This is for creating a collection of permissions that allows users to perform a specific set of operations while being part of a room. It is similar to role-based perks.
Track
This represents either the audio or video used in the Twitter spaces. Users can interact with any mode of media they choose to have their interactions.
Features
The customizable app comes with many features to meet the standards of a modern social media interaction app. The features are highlighted below.
Home Screen
A first touch-point for the user. There is a feed from which users can choose the chat room they want to join. They can also create one on their own.
Audio Connections
Users can connect via audio in rooms. There are also options to mute and unmute oneself during an interaction. This gives more control of the conversation.
Public and Private Screens
There are public and private screens that the user can choose from during an interaction. The admin can choose who to permit in the room.
Profile Screens
Users can view and edit their own details on a dedicated profile page. They can also view the details of their connections and fellow users.
Live Chat and Add Friends
There are options to have a live chat — audio and text — with app users. The app also contains features for adding friends and managing connections.
Technologies Used
A look at the tools and tech stacks we used for the customizable twitter clone social media app.
Flutter
Flutter was used for the front-end due to its reactive programming model, allowing changes to be observed in real-time. It also requires a single codebase for both iOS and Android.
100ms
100ms is reliable, scalable, and easy to use. It allows features to be added with fewer lines of code (compared to counterparts) and handles all the functionality in the SDK.
Can Be Used to Build Apps Similar To

What You Need to Know
The time it takes to customize a social media app like Twitter Spaces and Facebook clone for a business largely depends on the scope of the project and the complexity of the features required. Typically, it can take anywhere from 10 to 20 weeks to develop and deploy a fully functional and customized app.
This timeline includes the duration needed for design, development, testing, and deployment. However, the delivery estimate is not fixed and variable. There are multiple factors that determine the project completion, like the size of the development team, the level of customization required, and any unexpected challenges that arise during development.
We provide you with a team of talented developers skilled in the latest tech stacks to build your own custom social media apps like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc. Most of them are core contributors to key front-end technologies like React Native and Flutter.
The backend team is also capable of using innovative methods to deliver solutions. Coupled with our industry experience and proven expertise, you can never go wrong with a GeekyAnts partnership.
The cost of developing a social media app like Twitter and Instagram can vary greatly based on several factors, such as the platform (iOS, Android, or both), features, design, and complexity. However, the estimated cost of developing such an app can range from $15,000 to $40,000 or more, depending on the requirements.
Note that this estimate is not definitive and can vary significantly depending on the development team's experience, location, and hourly rate, among other factors.
We can certainly help with upgrading the social media application.
If there is a match in the tech stacks being used in the apps, the process will be fast and straightforward. When the tech stacks do not match, we will share a custom solution and roadmap that will help with the upgrade.
Flutter has multiple advantages that make it a popular choice for frontend development. One of them is its hot reload feature. This enables developers to make changes to the code and see the results immediately, which simplifies the debugging process. It also delivers high performance, fast development, and the need for only a single codebase for both iOS and Android.
It definitely can be done.
The application is made to be customizable, 100% themeable, and scalable to meet any use case requirement. There will be minimal roadblocks in the customization process as we have a talented pool of developers capable of pushing the changes out.
