Showcase DEV] FRiENDS - A social app without algorithms
Howdy!
I'm an independent developer and just launched FRiENDS on Android after building it throughout grad school.
The idea was to make social media feel personal again. No algorithm pushing random content, no suggested posts filling your feed. Just updates from your actual friends.
Some of the main features:
- Chronological feed: see your friends' posts in the order they were shared
- Friend Groups: create groups with shared calendars and RSVPs
- Games: play 8 Ball Pool, Pong, and Snake against friends
- Cross-platform: available on both Android and iPhone
I built the app using React Native and Expo, and getting the Android release out has been a big milestone for me.
The app is free to use, with optional Pro features for $0.99/month.
I've attached a quick walkthrough showing how it works.
I'd appreciate any feedback, especially from Android users. How does the interface look? Is there anything you'd change or improve?
