Social Media App
CloutHub is a pioneering social media platform, developed from the ground up. Unlike Twitter and Facebook, it is meticulously designed to eliminate corporate bias and influence from social discourse, empowering user to create a meaningful social impact.
Social Networking Apps: Challenges
Social Media/Social Networking is essential to build a community that can collaborate and influence ideas. Social media also has become a critical source of news and information for the new generation. Social media has also amplified discussions and influence on social and political topics.
However, there is a strong opinion that Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter do not act free and fair. It is felt the rules of the games in these platforms are rigged to enhance some voices and suppress some voices.
CloutHub Inc, based out of California, wanted to build a social media platform that is free from influence, and is fair to all participants. Besides, from a technical perspective, CloutHub wanted to bring some of the best features of Facebook, Twitter and Youtube on to a single platform.
Our Solution
APPiLY Technologies developed a custom social media platform, right from scratch to address the requirements of CloutHub. We provided a complete end-to-end social networking platform, with mobile app and web app at the frontend, APIs and Databases at the backend and deployed the solution in AWS Cloud.
We architected the platform in such a way that it is scalable from the beginning and can handle millions of user accounts and millions of posts per day. Our AWS deployment was engineered to be cost effective and scale with demand.
We also developed the frontend and backend in a modular fashion and we could swap and make changes to the platform features with ease. This was essential for CloutHub to deploy features, get user feedback and quickly make changes to meet the user needs and behaviour.
