The Social Book
Social Platform for Creators
The Problem
The client wanted to create a social platform where creators could build audiences, receive gifts/tips from fans, and offer custom services. Think of it as a blend of Instagram and Patreon with a marketplace component.
What We Built
A full-featured social platform with posting, following, real-time chat, virtual gifting, and a marketplace for creator services.
Social Features
Posts, likes, comments, follows, and a personalized feed algorithm.
Virtual Gifts
Fans purchase and send virtual gifts to creators. Gifts convert to real earnings.
Creator Services
Creators offer paid services (shoutouts, custom content, consultations) through their profile.
Real-Time Chat
Private messaging between followers and creators (with rate limits and moderation).
Diamond Status
Gamification - most-supported creators earn Diamond status with special perks.
Seller Dashboard
Creators manage their services, track earnings, and withdraw funds.
