I’ve been thinking about this project for a while and I’m trying to find people that would actually wanna build it together instead of me just sitting on the idea alone

The idea is basically a local-first community/social platform where communities can run their own spaces directly from their own PC/server and invite people through links/domains. Kinda like mixing community spaces, social profiles, realtime chat, creator spaces and project groups all into one thing.

Like imagine:

• a school hosting one for students
• a small city/community hosting one so people know what’s happening around them
• creators/youtubers hosting their own spaces directly
• friend groups making private communities
• dev groups building their own public spaces

People would have stuff like:

• profiles + pfps
• followers/friends
• posts/comments/reactions
• servers/communities
• channels/chatrooms
• DMs/group chats
• moderation systems
• bots/plugins
• realtime updates
• local/self hosting support

I also wanna explore stuff like:

• privacy/community ownership
• realtime systems
• self hosting
• local-first networking
• AI moderation running locally
• open source/community driven development

The goal is making communities feel more connected and controlled by the people actually running them instead of everything depending on giant centralized platforms.

I’m mainly focused on backend/infrastructure stuff right now but honestly I’d love meeting:

• backend devs
• frontend people
• mobile devs
• UI designers
• networking people
• people interested in realtime/community systems
• or honestly anybody learning and wanting to build something ambitious together

You definitely don’t need to be some crazy senior engineer either if the idea sounds interesting and you wanna learn/build with other people that’s enough.

Tech stack I’m exploring right now is mainly Go, Node.js, websockets/realtime systems and self hosted architecture stuff.Right now I’m mostly looking for:

• backend devs
• frontend people
• UI/UX designers
• mobile devs
• people interested in realtime/community systems
• honestly anyone that thinks the vision sounds cool

You definitely do NOT need to be some super experienced engineer either if you’re learning and wanna build something ambitious with other people that’s cool too.

Would love to meet people that are into networking, self hosting, realtime systems, communities, open source stuff or just big internet ideas in general

I been building a pretty big backend project and now I’m tryna find people that wanna help shape it early.

The whole platform runs locally on your PC/server and can be shared with friends or communities through tunnels or hosting methods. The idea is giving people full control over their own communities instead of relying on giant centralized platforms.

The platform got kinda like 3 sections combined together:
• a developer/project side where people can post updates, work together, upload stuff, manage projects and bots
• a community/chat side with servers, channels, realtime messaging, moderation, permissions, events and all that
• a social side where users got profiles, pfps, followers, posts, feeds, comments and community interaction

Users got accounts, profiles, followers, moderation systems, bots, permissions, realtime events, uploads, admin systems and more already being worked on.

Right now we focusing mostly on the backend/core systems:
• authentication
• realtime sockets
• API endpoints
• moderation systems
• anti raid/security systems
• bot engine
• permissions/scopes
• uploads
• local hosting
• server/community systems

Eventually I wanna turn it into a full desktop app and mobile apps too.

This project is open source and I seriously don’t care if you experienced or still learning. If you interested in:
• backend
• frontend
• UI design
• mobile
• bots/plugins
• realtime systems
• self hosted/community ideas

then hit me up.

I’m mainly looking for people that think the vision is cool and wanna build something big from the start 🙌
