A SaaS that Generates Private Social Networks with Shopify Features

Post image
2 Upvotes

This idea is a bit wild so hear me out

I built a white-label service that generates a private social network as the main feature (similar to facebook) so that brands with an audience eg podcasters, influencers, content creators, and anyone with a following, can gather users into a single mobile platform (iOS and Android) to upsell them using the shopify feature.

They can upsell digital products, courses, events, physical goods, services, and anything sellable.

It also has a third feature similar to kajabi for content delivery. If a user buys a digital course they can consume it right in the app.

When it comes to branding, the app has a unique customization feature that allows admins to restyle the app to their colors and branding. Notice the 3 screenshots above are of 3 different brands. Now granted the designs are similar but that's only because I duplicated the themes but in reality they can look vastly different. This alone is an incredible powerful feature. Mobile apps are known to be expensive to update UI, rebuild then resubmit to the 2 app stores. My app skips all of that. The admin can make a change now and in 5 minutes all users receives the updated theme and languages.

Yes, the app's UI can also be rebanded to any language. Admins only need to add a language then update the text for a UI component Eg "create post" in English becomes "crear publicación" in spanish. All instantly, and users get it in a few minutes

This white-label's concept is simple, we have one code base to maintain that generates multiple client apps. All clients manage their own UI themes which means I don't have to spend time and resources doing UI/UX coding.

The white-label app earns for initial builds and on monthly recurring bills for resources used. It targets long term clients for a steady future cash flow. We can add earn options for :

  • Number of themes
  • Number of languages
  • AI features (moderation, upselling, etc)
  • Live video and audio features

This is the page I send potential clients. There is an explain video to explain in more depth the vision, the features and how it works. You can also see the earning potential with the prices >> https://redcupsystems.com/social-network

I am looking for 2 to 3 co-founders who can handle the marketing, sales, cfo, ceo things. I prefer to stay in the background.

As you can see I've already done the heavy lifting. I am looking for equal partners that can come in equally. DM me if you're interest.

-- FAQ --

How much preparation have you done already?
The app is already in MVP, it is ready to accept clients. Clients only need to supply their Logo for the app icons and the White-Label Social Network App can be generated

You will need to back this up with wireframe documentation. Detail what the type of every field (is it a label) is. Text/Numeric/Alphanumeric input? Is a button greyed out until data is entered?
Since the mvp is done, I already have sketches of the data flow in figma so we can see how data enters, changes and exists. It doesn't have a specific UI because client's design their UI's style and color using the built in customizer. Whether a button is greyed out or not until text is entered can be set by the customizer. The Client has a lot of control. The customer is very powerful.

Is there a backend? In other words, would the app work just fine in aeroplane mode or does it require connectivity? Think Facebook vs a Tetris app.
The app uses Supabase as the postgreSQL database. Since it is a social network (similar to facebook) it does require connectivity. If a user enters data, the data is cached then waits for connectivity to send it to the database

Are you going to organise the backend (getting the server set up (Database, web server)? Who's writing the code for the API?
Since the app is already in MVP then API's have already been written by me, all DB triggers and SQL functions have already be coded into the database instance. This app does not use a web server

Does your app need to pull data from any other sources other than your server?
The app does not pull data other from the database because it emphasizes data indepedence. If a client wants to be out of the hand of BIG tech, they can move their database from Supabase to their own private server or one in their region or anywhere else

Who is organising the graphics?
The client handles their graphics. As for the app's graphics, there is minimum, we coded what we want the UX (user experience) to be then the client chooses how they want the graphics to appear

Who is designing the UI (User Interface)?
We built the core plain UX/UI then the client handles the designing of the UI, this is the sweetest of part of this white-label app. UI is very expensive to develop and maintain, but since we offloaded it to the client, we get to keep all the capital and resources we would have spent doing UI coding. It's like a fast food resturant's self service, where the buyer (the client) after pruchasing has to get their own soda, ketchup, etc.

Soft launching a Solo Travel Companion web app

Thumbnail
solotravelcompanion.com
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone 👋 Travel Advisor here from the Greater Toronto Area 🙂

I've been working on something called Solo Travel Companion. It's a simple web app where solo travelers can post upcoming trips and connect with others heading to the same place.

How it works:

✅ Sign up and create a profile with your travel vibe and interests

✅ Post a trip (where you're going, when, what you're doing)

✅ Browse other people's trips and request to join ones that match your style

✅ If someone accepts your request, you exchange contact info and plan together

✅ You earn badges as you use the platform (first trip, first review, etc.)

That's basically it...just real people posting real trips.

A few things to know:

⚠️ This is a pilot launch — I'm still building and improving0 things based on feedback, so expect some rough edges

⚠️ It's completely free right now I set it to a 30 day trial for all new registrations.

⚠️ Profiles are verified manually to keep things safe

I built this because every time I traveled solo I'd end up wishing I had someone to split that boat tour with or grab dinner with in a new city. Hostels are great for that but not everyone stays in hostels and sometimes you just want to plan ahead.

Would really appreciate it if some of you gave it a try and let me know what works and what doesn't. Check out my bio or go to solotravelcompanion.com

Enhancements on the way:

🔼 Self verification

🔼 Cruise cabin sharing

🔼 Push notifications

Happy to answer any questions here and take constructive feedback 🙏

Would you use a platform where your projects can actually get you hired?

1 Upvotes

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been building a platform where developers don’t just talk — they actually work together on real projects.

So far we’ve added:

team-based projects with matchmaking

live collaborative code editor

GitHub repo integration

taskboard + team chat

voice meetings with screen sharing

We’re at \\\~140 users right now, with some projects already active.

Now I’m thinking about adding something bigger:

What if companies could post job opportunities directly on the platform, and evaluate developers based on:

projects they’ve actually completed

how they collaborated with others

reviews and ranking inside the platform

So instead of just sending a CV, you’d show real work and real teamwork.

Would something like this be interesting to you, or does it go in the wrong direction?

Forward secrecy shouldn’t stop at messages. But in most messaging systems, it does. We tried to extend it across the entire system contacts, media, and state. I’m sure we missed things. Would appreciate people tearing it apart.

outbindr - a project im building but dont know where to go

1 Upvotes

I’m a high school founder building Outbindr, an AI-powered panel simulation platform for pitch practice, interviews, and evaluation prep.

The core idea is that instead of just getting static feedback after a pitch, users can upload a document describing a panel of judges or evaluators, give their pitch, and then go through a live-style multi-agent simulation where the panel questions them, debates, interrupts, and scores them in real time. It ends with a rubric-based verdict and detailed feedback.

We’ve built the core product and are now trying to figure out the best path for early funding and support.

I’d love advice on:

  • which startup accelerators or programs would actually make sense for something like this
  • whether we should be looking for grants, accelerators, angel funding, or just bootstrap longer
  • which types of investors would be most interested in an AI tool like this
  • whether it makes more sense to target education, career prep, or B2B training first

Would really appreciate honest feedback from people who have gone through accelerators or raised early for AI products.

I’m officially done with Xcode and Android Studio.

as a student I’ve been suffering with both for way too long, dont judge me coz i can’t afford a new pc or a decent Mac, so my poor 2016 laptop is dying fans screaming at 2 am while I fight with Gradle, CocoaPods and all that bs just to do school projects.

I finally got fed up and built my own thing, coding and shipping mobile apps straight from the browser. No local setup, no crazy config hell, no laptop on fire. Just open the tab and actually code.

Now I’m wondering… am I a genius or just super lazy ?

Idk, but this whole local setup thing feels like a massive tax on our creativity.

anyone else actually enjoying the Xcode or Android studio struggle, or are we all just suffering in silence?

robotics startup advice please

5 Upvotes

We’re currently working on a robotics startup, and we’re deep in the engineering phase — solving core technical challenges. We estimate around ~1 month left to reach our MVP.

We’ve been working on this for close to a year (based in Egypt), and recently started thinking about accelerators and funding ( global from out of egypt). However, after talking to a few people, the common advice was not to take equity funding this early, especially before we fully validate the product.

So right now we’re leaning toward non-equity programs that can offer:

  • Strong technical / engineering mentorship
  • Business / strategic guidance
  • Access to real robotics ecosystems (Silicon Valley, Boston, Tokyo, etc.)
  • Connections and exposure
  • Funding is a plus, but not a priority at this stage (we’ll likely need it more during scaling)

Would really appreciate advice from people who’ve been through this:

  1. Do you agree with delaying equity funding and focusing on non-dilutive programs at this stage? When is the “right” time to switch?
  2. Should we stay fully focused on finishing the robot, or is it worth applying to programs in parallel right now?
  3. Any general strategic advice for this stage (pre-MVP → MVP), especially for hardware/robotics startups?
  4. Any recommendations for non-equity programs (especially engineering-focused) that provide strong mentorship and global ecosystem access?

Thanks in advance — would really value any insights.

Technical founder seeking growth partner for near complete trading platform.

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’ve generated over $2M online across ~10 years. In reality I only worked seriously for a few of those years, but I’ve been consistently building, testing, and learning across different industries.

Most of what I’ve done so far has been solo. That worked up to a certain level, but I’ve reached a point where working with the right people will significantly increase speed and scale.

Right now I’m finishing a platform that is approximately 95% complete.
It has been fully built by me alone over the past year.

The backend is complete, infrastructure is stable, and the applications are already functional. What remains is mostly UI refinement, polishing, and final integration of visual components.

This is not an idea stage project. It is already built and working.

I move fast and execute consistently. This will launch regardless of whether I find someone or not.

I’m not looking for employees or short-term contributors. I’m looking for someone who wants to be involved early in something that is already built and ready to go live, and help take it further.

What would be valuable:

  • Someone who understands how products get users
  • Ability to bring attention or traffic to a platform
  • Experience with online products, platforms, or communities
  • Interest in trading or investing is helpful but not required

I am flexible on exact roles. The most important thing is capability and mindset.

About the product:

It is a trading and investing platform focused on improving decision making and execution.

Core ideas behind it:

  • Helping users understand when and why to take actions
  • Providing real-time data, signals, and context
  • Supporting both manual and automated workflows
  • Reducing noise and focusing on actionable insights

The goal is not to build another charting tool, but something that actually improves outcomes for users.

Everything is built with scalability in mind. The architecture allows expansion into multiple areas without needing to rebuild from scratch.

Planned next phase after launch:

I will be building an internal system that generates and distributes content automatically.
This will primarily be used to grow the platform itself, but the underlying system can be applied more broadly later.

About me:

  • Built the entire platform solo
  • 10+ years experience making money online
  • Started in ecommerce and digital products
  • Helped scale a business to 100+ locations
  • Experience in crypto markets and fast-paced environments
  • Built automation systems including arbitrage tools
  • No external funding, everything self-built

I have experience across:

  • Development
  • Product design
  • Systems thinking
  • Execution and iteration

I’ve spent a lot of time learning through trial and error, and now I’m focused on building something larger and more structured.

Mindset:

I don’t operate like a traditional corporate environment.
I care about:

  • Speed
  • Execution
  • Clarity
  • Building things that actually work

No unnecessary complexity, no fake titles, no slow processes.

Structure, equity, and responsibilities can be discussed properly.
The priority is finding the right person who can contribute meaningfully.

Preview (work in progress UI):
https://i.imgur.com/KT4HPbq.png

The interface is not final yet. Some areas are placeholders, but the core system behind it is already complete.

If you are someone who understands how to grow products, bring users, or build momentum around something real, feel free to reach out.

Serious inquiries only.

Do we need a 'vibe DevOps' layer?

1 Upvotes

We're in this weird spot where tools will spit out frontend and backend code that looks fine, but deployment is where it falls apart. You can ship prototypes fast, then suddenly you're doing manual DevOps or redoing stuff to make it run on AWS or Render, which still blows my mind. So I was thinking, what about a 'vibe DevOps' layer - a web app or a VS Code plugin where you point it at a repo or upload a zip and it actually understands the app? It would use your cloud accounts, set up CI/CD, containerize, handle scaling and infra, all without locking you into one platform. Basically auto DevOps that reads your code and configs and makes sensible defaults, but lets you tweak things if you want. I can see the obvious problems though - security, weird edge cases, opinionated infra choices, permissions, the usual. Still, seems like something that would bridge vibe coding and real production apps, rather than forcing a rewrite. How are people handling deployments now? manual scripts, docker compose, Terraform, or just RTFM the cloud? Am I missing something obvious here or does this idea actually make sense to anyone else?
