Project description:
"I need a full-stack developer or small team to launch a responsive website whose core feature is real-time chatrooms aimed at hobby-based communities. The site’s primary goal is community engagement: users browse or search for rooms that match their interests, jump straight into live conversations, and keep the discussion going through private, one-to-one messages.

Scope of work
• User accounts: email or social login, password reset, and a simple dashboard showing joined rooms and unread messages.
• Chatrooms: create, list, and join hobby-specific rooms; messages should appear instantly (WebSocket or equivalent real-time tech).
• Private messaging: from any chat thread, users can open a discrete dialogue with another member.
• Moderation readiness: build with role-based permissions so an admin panel can be attached later without refactor.
• Mobile-first UI: clean, lightweight design that scales from phone to desktop.
• Security: rate-limiting, input sanitisation, and basic GDPR-friendly data storage practices.

Deliverables
1. Technical architecture brief (database schema, tech stack, hosting suggestion).
2. Functional prototype on a staging domain.
3. Source code in a version-controlled repository with setup instructions.
4. Deployment support for the first production push.

I’m open to mainstream stacks—React + Node, Vue + Laravel, or a comparable solution—so long as it ensures smooth real-time messaging and is well-documented.

Please include a brief outline of your proposed stack, any similar community or chat work you’ve done, and an estimated timeline for completing the above deliverables." (client-provided description)
