Over the last few months I have been working on a project that allows you to spin up your own self-hosted social platform, complete with a web interface, iOS/Android client apps, and a robust backend. https://axionnode.com It is similar to Reddit in terms of functionality (communities, posts, user accounts, comments, upvote/downvote), except now with it being open source, you can customize it for your personal or corporate use, and then run your own version of a social platform. The frontend is React Native using Expo, and you can build clients for iOS and Android easily. On the backend it uses Django / Python. I originally designed it to work seamlessly with Google Cloud Platform (using Cloud Build, Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, etc), but I’m hoping that others may assist me to make it cloud agnostic, and add improved video functionality support. Thanks for checking it out. Fork away and let me know if anyone might want to contribute to it. It has been a labour of love and a fun project to try and tackle.   submitted by   /u/Icy_Panic_5860 [link]   [comments]
