NotTwitter - Open-source Twitter inspired, retro-themed social media website

[Seekehr]

I don't really know where else to post this so yeah. This project is solely for my portfolio

Backend: https://github.com/seekehr/NotTwitter
Frontend: https://github.com/seekehr/NotTwitterFront
Video preview:

My own website: https://seekehr.github.io

USE OF AI: Nearly none in the backend (aside from some tips from ChatGPT mini-o3 when I had some brainfarts), and some CSS/JSX generated by ChatGPT/Claude/Lovable.dev (for example, the text for the "What's Trending Page").

LMK what y'all think! This isn't really a WIP since I lost motivation and I was planning to only really build it for my portfolio anyways, so it does have incomplete features.

Any ideas for what I should work on next? Potentially to get sum $$$ ;D, money is the greatest motivator after all

That’s like an official twitter clone. Or was twitter built with mastodon? Their repo is quite old.

it's a small competitor it has like 3-5% self-hosted twitter. You can connect it with other instances

Some japanese monitize their instance. I think they run some kind of a manga instance. Here is what is Mastadon?
