social networking
software development
We build social products with real engagement — community platforms, creator monetisation tools, social audio apps, and niche network products. Our engineering handles the hard parts: real-time feeds, media processing pipelines, and the trust and safety systems that keep communities healthy.
what we build
- Social feed with posts, comments, reactions, and sharing
- Creator monetisation — subscriptions, tipping, and paid content
- Social audio / voice rooms and live audio streaming
- Community groups, channels, and moderation tools
- Direct messaging and group chat
- Media upload pipeline (images, video, audio) with processing
- Trust and safety tools — reporting, blocking, and content moderation
- Notifications engine — push, in-app, and email digest
challenges we solve
- Feed ranking that feels generic and kills retention
- No monetisation path for creators, reducing content quality over time
- Moderation overhead as communities scale without automated tools
- Media upload and delivery that is slow on African mobile networks
- No mechanism to build sub-communities or interest groups

frequently asked questions
Can you build a niche social network from scratch?
Yes. We scope niche social products tightly around their differentiating interaction model and build the core engagement loop before adding peripheral features.
How do you handle media processing for video and audio uploads?
We build async media processing pipelines using FFmpeg for transcoding, S3 for storage, and CloudFront for CDN delivery. Mobile clients receive upload progress feedback.
Do you build creator monetisation tools?
Yes. We build subscription tiers, pay-per-post unlocks, live tipping, and payout management for creators — with mobile money payouts for African creator bases.
How do you approach content moderation at scale?
We build layered moderation: automated flagging (hashing, keyword, image classifier), community reporting, and a manual review queue. Escalation and appeals flows are included.
