I built ZLVOX Community — post image cards, get likes and replies, climb the leaderboard

Hey DEV! 👋

I just launched ZLVOX Community — a community site where anyone can post image cards with captions, and others can like, reply, follow, and climb a leaderboard.

🔗 Live here: https://zlvox.com/community/

What you can do

  • 📸 Post image cards with captions (multi-image posts supported)
  • ❤️ Like and reply on posts
  • 👥 Follow creators and save posts for later
  • 🔥 Trending feed, hashtags, and a leaderboard with points and badges
  • 🔍 Search across posts, plus a light mode

How it's built

Plain PHP + SQLite — no frameworks. Server-rendered pages, a small set of tables, zero build step. Posts stay hidden until an admin approves them, so the feed stays clean.

Why I built it

ZLVOX started as a collection of free web tools (like an HTML-to-video maker). The community sits right next to those tools, so people who use the tools also have a place to share their work and get feedback.

What's next

Creator payouts are planned for a later phase. Right now the focus is a clean feed and real engagement.

It's free to join — come post something, and tell me what you'd improve. Feedback welcome! 🙌
