OneSocial: the ultimate super app for creators and their audience

Overview of My Submission

The problem

We all have the potential to be creators and service providers, but it's true that we currently don't have a single platform that satisfies all our needs. Creators are currently forced to work with multiple websites; for example, they need a dedicated site just to manage a blog with a newsletter, a website to chat and have online meetings, a platform to sell digital products and services, a portal to broadcast all events & meetups, and the list goes on. 😒

Because of the use of multiple websites, any creator's followers are scattered across many social media platforms, and to ensure that the latest announcement reaches them, the creator has to post the same thing repeatedly on various websites. This is very time-consuming and can also be seen as cumbersome and destructive, asking loyal followers to create an account on different platforms and subscribe. Since we're repeatedly feeding the same info to faithful supporters on different websites, it might lead them to unfollow you or even hate you.

On the other side of the aisle, if you only post on popular social platforms, some of your followers are likely to miss the critical update. This is a huge concern, and clearly, there are tradeoffs to be made.

Another problem from buyer's perspective is content discovery. There are so many nice creators, professionals, and consultants on the Internet, but we never get to know about them.

Drumrolls please

Hey folks unfortunately, the server crashed few hours ago (I don't know exactly when it happened). It was because of an issue with refractor. It's fixed now. πŸ™‚

Image description

It took a whopping 1.5 hours 🀯 of identify and apply the hotfix.

By the way the issue was because of my blind faith to sites like StackExchange and StackOverflow. πŸ₯²

See this answer: askubuntu.com/a/361917

It has a command sudo find / | grep nginx | sudo xargs rm -rf. It must've removed nginx.js. And since I was fetching the libraries from local cache, the problem persisted.

Also, now the server is using pm2, which should be make it more reliable. ✨

Sorry for the inconvenience. Please do checkout onesocial.tk/.
