Nice Rocks
An antiviral social sharing platform
This project is in its second iteration, being rebuilt in React Native. The code for the first iteration is here
What's the point?
Primary use case: You want to recommend a book or a movie to a close friend.
- Direct messaging or texting is unnecessarily immediate and intrusive.
- Passively sharing on social media doesn't guarantee that the message will be received.
How is Nice Rocks different:
- Asynchronous sharing lets the receiver explore recommended content
- Having a dedicated archive stops recommendations from being buried in long timelines or chat threads.
- 1-to-1 sharing encourages more personal notes and recommendations. There is no way to "share with all your friends"
Tech Used
- Client: React Native
- Datastore, Auth: Firebase
