I too am building a social network! I'm enjoying learning about graph databases and gremlin query language (linked to an Azure cosmos db). Which I never thought I'd say 😀.
Early days yet though for mine but I'd be very interested to hear more about what you've been doing.

How about Single Sign On (SSO)?

That's definitely on the to-do list!

This sounds awesome. I’m working on a project with a similar stack using Gatsby, NestJS and MongoDB. For the SSO comment, I’ve been using Auth0 and it has been pretty easy so far. Let me know if you want some contributions. I’d love to help.

Hey @insuusvenerati !

I open sourced the project and am dropping the link here just in case you are still interested in contributing:

GitHub logo Tisn / tisn.app

The introverts' social network


Tisn

Tisn - The introverts' social network

Meet people while doing what you enjoy!

What is tisn.app?

Welcome to the tisn.app (or just Tisn) repository! We are very glad to have you here. If you want to help us make Tisn better, this is definitely the place to be!

The primary objective of Tisn is to try and address the problem of the apparent difficulty that exists to meet people and make new friends on this modern world. To do that, our social network:

  1. Connects people according to their interests
  2. Encourages people to go outside and meet others while doing something that they all enjoy
  3. Is as simple as possible

We try to do all of that while being completely transparent and respecting our users' privacy.

I like your project, would contribute in creating this portal. The only thing is that it does not look great that at the moment you don't have any events. Do you have any plan to fill up your event database somehow?

Currently there are only a few events, most of them in Madrid, Spain, and created by me. The idea is for users to create them, but with so few users nothing is being created 😕

Good job for starters. I've joined there but I feel there's a lot more room for improvements in the functionalities.
I'm interested to join your project as a contributor :-) Ping me!
