Wave - Music Social App

Wave started as a personal project to solve a simple problem: I wanted to see what my friends were listening to in real-time. What evolved was a full-featured social music platform that combines the power of Apple Music with Firebase's real-time database capabilities. The app features a clean, intuitive interface built entirely in SwiftUI, following Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. Users can share their currently playing tracks, create collaborative playlists, and discover new music through their friend network's listening habits. Key technical challenges included optimizing Firebase queries for real-time updates, implementing efficient caching strategies to reduce API calls, and designing a scalable data model that could handle growing user bases without performance degradation.
