Building a Real-Time Dating App with MAUI, SignalR, and Firebase – My Journey with Opulent Bonds
Building a Real-Time Dating App with MAUI, SignalR, and Firebase – My Journey with Opulent Bonds Hey devs, I'm Anant — a full-time software architect by day, and a startup builder by night. A few months ago, I started working on something that had been bugging me for a while — dating apps. Not from the usual user frustration (though there's plenty of that), but from a technical and UX perspective. I wanted to see if I could build a better experience, especially for a niche that's usually overlooked: luxury and safe sugar dating. So I started building Opulent Bonds — a real-time dating app focused on verified profiles, privacy, and meaningful connections. Here's a breakdown of the stack, architecture, and lessons learned.
