Day 1 making social media platform

Day 1 – Building a Social Media Platform From Scratch 🚀

Today is Day 1 of my journey to build a complete social media platform from scratch — from idea to production-level system.
In this challenge, I will design, develop, and launch a real-world social media product step by step, sharing everything transparently.

This series covers real software engineering, not tutorials with shortcuts. You will see actual backend architecture, frontend decisions, authentication systems, scalability planning, and production-ready code.

What you’ll see in this series:

System design & architecture planning

Backend APIs (auth, posts, likes, comments, follow system)

Frontend UI/UX decisions

Database modeling (users, posts, followers, notifications)

Authentication & security best practices

Performance, scalability & industry standards

Mistakes, fixes, and real-world problem solving
