Drop-in chat and social feed for Android, iOS, Flutter, React and React Native.
Everything below is open source under Apache 2.0: the client SDKs, the data layers underneath them, and the backend services they talk to. 40 repositories.
We open sourced this because teams shipping our SDKs shouldn't have to wait on us for a UI change, and because the data layers are useful on their own if you'd rather build your chat or feed UI from scratch.
Docs:https://docs.likeminds.io/ · REST API:https://docs.likeminds.io/rest-api · Website:https://likeminds.io
Every platform ships two layers:
- A UI layer you install and theme.
- A data layer underneath it handling auth, networking, realtime sync, offline caching and media upload.
The data layers work standalone. Several repos below are complete chat and feed UIs built directly on a data layer, skipping our components entirely.
Group chatrooms, 1:1 DMs with request/approve/block, emoji reactions, reply/edit/delete/forward, @-mentions, polls, voice notes, images, video, GIFs, PDFs, link previews, search across chatrooms and members, secret chatrooms and invites, report and moderation, push notifications, and offline sync with a local DB.
Three product shapes, switched by theme: community (groups only), networking (DMs only), hybrid (both).

Universal and personalised feeds, posts carrying text, images, video, documents, link previews, polls and custom widgets, comments with nested replies, likes with liker lists, topics and topic-filtered feeds, @-mentions, save, pin, hide, repost, search, an activity feed, a pending-post moderation queue, background upload with retry, and push notifications.
Three product shapes, switched by theme: social feed, Q&A feed with upvotes and top answers, and a vertical reels-style video feed.
| Repository | What it is |
|---|---|
| likeminds-feed-android | Android Feed UI SDK in Kotlin: 16 screens and around 45 themeable widgets, each paired with a *ViewStyle class so the whole feed restyles from one transformer |
| likeminds-feed-ios | iOS Feed UI SDK in Swift, with social, Q&A and video view models sharing abstract base classes, and post creation running as background operations. The UI pod has zero external dependencies |
| likeminds-feed-flutter | Melos monorepo holding the Flutter Feed core and UI packages, adding feedrooms, a guest flow, user connections and Flutter web support, with per-screen builder, style, settings and config overrides |
| likeminds-feed-reactjs | React 18 Feed SDK with genuinely parallel social and Q&A implementations, plus a moderation screen carrying a pending-post approval queue, a report queue and a member-permissions editor |
| likeminds-feed-reactnative | React Native Feed SDK, running on both bare RN CLI and Expo managed workflow, with a user-onboarding screen and anonymous-post support |
| Repository | What it is |
|---|---|
| likeminds-feed-android-data | Kotlin data layer: LMFeedClient with roughly 50 functions across post, comment, feed, topic, user, moderation, notification, poll and search clients, on a Room DB tracking offline uploads and seen posts |
| likeminds-feed-ios-data | Swift data layer covering posts, comments, likes, polls, topics, notifications, moderation, members and feedrooms. Alamofire only, no local DB at this layer |
| likeminds-feed-flutter-data | Dart data layer: LMFeedClient across 17 method groups, Dio with automatic retry, Hive persistence and GetIt dependency injection |
| likeminds-feed-js-data | JavaScript data layer, split into per-domain clients. The moderation client is the richest: report queues, report status updates and member-rights management |
| likeminds-feed-reactnative-data | React Native data layer: wraps the JS client and adds AsyncStorage persistence for tokens, user, seen posts and onboarding state |
| likeminds-feed-ios-data-xc | Prebuilt LikeMindsFeed.xcframework binary that the published iOS data pod vendors |
| likeminds-feed-reactnative-ui | Standalone LMFeed-UI component kit: base atoms like LMButton, LMHeader and LMText, plus composed components such as LMPost split into header, content, media, footer and menu |
Seven real customisations, from a two-file colour swap to a full rebrand. Read these for the pattern rather than as current starting points, since the Flutter ones pin 2024 SDK versions.
| Repository | What it is |
|---|---|
| likeminds-feed-flutter-social-dark | The heaviest customisation: a near-black and purple dark theme, Gantari font, a full custom SVG icon set and a branding layer on top |
| likeminds-feed-flutter-surassa | A blue and Inter light theme with card-style posts, custom header, content, footer and topic builders, a custom report screen and relative timestamps |
| likeminds-feed-flutter-koshiqa | The lightest possible customisation: a colour theme in two Dart files |
| likeminds-feed-android-social-feed-theme | A minimal two-file Android example of the social feed theme |
| likeminds-feed-reactnative-social-topics | A React Native build with a custom universal-feed screen, a topic filter, and a create-post button restricting one topic to community managers |
| likeminds-feed-reactjs-resource | A React feed hand-built directly on the JS data layer, bypassing the React SDK entirely. The reference for going fully custom |
Both work in any Android app. No LikeMinds account needed.
| Repository | What it is |
|---|---|
| likeminds-android-custom-gallery | A WhatsApp-style media picker: browse images, video, docs and audio, multi-select, crop, freehand draw, text overlay, video trimming and audio waveforms |
| likeminds-android-user-tagging | @-mention autocomplete for any EditText. You supply the user list, it handles the overlay, the spans and the encode/decode |
Six services, each named after a collective noun for a group of animals. A caravan of camels, a kettle of hawks, a pandemonium of parrots, a skulk of foxes, a swarm of bees.
Chat and Feed are not symmetrical on the server. caravan is Django on Postgres, swarm is Go on MongoDB. They were built at different times by different teams, and neither is a port of the other. Realtime is shared.
| Repository | What it is |
|---|---|
| likeminds-caravan | The Chat service. Chatrooms and members, conversations, communities and membership, onboarding, cohorts, notifications, search, sync, webhooks, multimedia upload, moderation rights and a Django CMS. Django 3.0 and DRF, Celery on RabbitMQ, Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch 7 |
| likeminds-swarm | The Feed service and its background workers. Posts, the pending-post moderation queue, comments, likes, saves, topics, polls, widgets, activity feed, connection feed, entity impressions and webhooks. MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch. Background work on asynq with cron scheduling. Go and Gin |
| likeminds-kettle | The client-facing API gateway, shared by both products. OTP and social login, JWT issue and refresh, account merge, device registration, plus the chatroom, feed, community, channel, search, widget, poll and moderation surfaces. No database of its own, just Redis and calls to sibling services. Two Gin routers on two ports, 216 per-endpoint OpenAPI files |
| likeminds-pandemonium | Realtime fan-out, shared by Chat and Feed. A WebSocket subscribe endpoint, a publish endpoint and a delivery report, plus the read models used to resolve who an event actually goes to. Redis pub/sub over gorilla/websocket, Postgres via GORM. Go and Gin |
| likeminds-skulk | Subscriptions and payments. Plans, subscriptions, orders, transactions, hosted payment pages, settlements and payouts, KYC, and scheduled jobs expiring subscriptions. Also owns the rate-limit tiers that kettle reads. Django and DRF, Celery on RabbitMQ, Postgres, Elasticsearch |
| likeminds-stampede | Load testing. Terraform that stands up a disposable replica of the whole estate on Azure or GKE to run load tests against and measure cost and API performance. Nothing in production touches it |
Deployment tooling in these repos is retained for reference and is not operational.
| Repository | What it is |
|---|---|
| agentic-workflow-backend | A self-hosted MCP server running multi-step Claude agent pipelines. Ingests artifacts into reusable knowledge bases, generates structured documents and configs, writes SDK integration code from API docs, drives API-less websites through a browser, and executes live API sequences from specs. Python. Unrelated to the Chat and Feed SDKs above |
