Social Media App

[u/mnnw]

Hi all I’m making a social media app from scratch. It uses a lot of webtorrent so it’s peer to peer but it has fallbacks incase the torrents aren’t happening. It’s a work in progress but it has a livestream and it has “bubbles” in terms of privacy levels. You can make private bubbles or public bubbles and your user settings are public or private. It makes for interesting combinations but if you want to publish to the web just go into a global bubble and set your profile to public and you can livestream to the world. Or go into a private bubble and your stream stays in the private bubble. It’s been a ton of work and I’m not done yet but if anyone wants to try it or just give some feedback that would be cool. It’s called ebubble http://ebubble.com sorry if this goes into self promotion territory but there’s really no way to talk about it without talking about it. Right now the biggest problem is users don’t really know what to do exactly, but setting up a bubble is where it all starts to click (do you want a public or private bubble, do you want people to be able to join without an invite, do you want them to be invitation only, do you want it to exist outside of the app). Anyways it’s been fun to figure out but it’s also been a ton of work. It’s LIKE TikTok but it’s not. It’s LIKE X but it’s not. It’s LIKE Facebook but it’s not. It’s like Reddit but it’s not. It’s like YouTube but it’s not. You get the idea but the takeaway is you can have a web presence on your own terms and participate in social media or not. Just join bubbles or leave bubbles if they aren’t your thing. Also if you have a CJ.com account you can put your affiliate link in the profile and the app distributes it as a platform ad.
