I built a social media platform called Igloo - https://igloosocial.com
I wanted a platform where I could share like on Instagram, but with restricted people that I can change as I wish so not all my followers have to see all of my content.
Been a great learning experience, the first time I built a proper app and a backend of this size all by myself. Don't care if anyone else uses this, I had fun along the way.

Hey HN! I built Igloo - A private social media platform to share better with my friends and family. I wanted a social media platform that would give me complete control over whom I want to share with, down to a control over who sees a single post. I also needed it to be something anyone with 0 technical skills can download and start using, something that Mastodon and others could not provide.
FAQ : Is it open source? Not yet, I want to try making a business out of this, and if that fails I'll open source it
How do I support it? It's free to start, subscription to upgrade for more features
How do I trust it? Honestly, there's no reason you should. That said, the terms and conditions are clear that I don't track, there are no ads, and I don't have any plans of adding any cause I do believe in the subscription model.
Is there a web version? Still working on it, mobile only for now
I'm happy to take any more Qns!

I thought Google had killed the AMP project, I don't remember coming across an AMP page in a while

How does that affect the quality of the article in any way? It's not like they're expressing through emoji, they're just there as bullet points
I get that emoji get a lot of hate on reddit since emoji only comments were low effort and that's justified
No emoji at all in any form, that's just a stupid ask

Congrats on your launch team swipe! I think we already have a great payment infrastructure in the BHIM UPI and bill management like this is definitely the next step. Am I correct to understand that you provide a QR code for payment through any UPI app of my choice, similar to what Bharat Pay does, and the bill is sent to the number linked to that?
