Hi there! I'am rhylso, a self-taught developer. There came a time when I became curious about creating a social media app and decided to develop my own. So, guess what I did? I made it happen.

Planning

I began planning the development towards the end of 2023, determined to prove that I could achieve my goals. Initially named Socialown, I later changed it to Socialzene. I created a GitHub organization under this name and started working on it. We have numerous repositories dedicated to the server and client of Socialzene, and I rewrote them several times in different programming languages to determine the best fit for the project. In the end, I settled on SvelteKit for the frontend, Python for the backend, and PostgreSQL for the database. There were many options, but I chose these because they offered the features I needed.

Development Stalled?!

There was a period when the project almost came to a standstill. I lost motivation to continue because I started to doubt the project and considered quitting programming altogether.

Continuation

In early 2024, I found renewed motivation to push forward with the project and its development. With this decision, I rewrote the server and client of Socialzene for the final time.

After months of full dedication and development, I can already see the changes. I'm excited about the results.

I plan to complete and have everything up and running before the end of 2024. Here's hoping for success!
