I’ve made my own attempt in building a social network [0] and it’s evening running for me and my friends.

Here are few things I’ve encountered during the development:

- Based on my experience private only approach does not work. It’s all about network effects and if users can’t send their post to all friends, they’ll just move on to a different platform

- chronological friends only feed is really boring. Not that it’s bad per de, but it’s hard to convince people to stay if the service is not entertaining

It can also be me not being able to market the project right. Good luck with your attempt!
