A repo for an open-source social media site for creatives.

Primary LanguageJavaScript

Not really a social media site

An open-source social media site for creatives.

Key changes to standard social media model:

No addictive infinite scroll.

  • How many posts do you want to scroll for? Use our service, and get back to living your life.
  • Max 50 posts, you can define the number of posts you view whenever you log in.
  • Maybe a timer.

No like buttons.

  • Only comments.

No data trading/harvesting.

  • Advertising - if we get that far - will be curated, not targeted.

To set up on your machine:

git clone https://github.com/Luka-Abey/socialLife.git

npm i

cd client && npm i

cd ..

npm run dev

Clones the project to your machine and runs both the server and client concurrently.

Built with:

Markdown cheatsheet for posts:

#s for varying levels of headers

[title](link) like so

![alt text for accessibility](image.jpg) format images

<del>text here</del>

And many more, look into markdown or just use html elements :octocat:
