I spent a year building a GPS-ephemeral social network. Here’s what happened | Hacker News

Hi HN, I'm the creator. I'm a graphic designer who decided to learn enough code to build the “social network” (if you can even call it that) I actually wanted to use. It turned into a year-long hobby project and a lot of late nights fighting FFmpeg, Google Play requirements, and the occasional rebellious AI model. Happy to answer questions about the PWA architecture, running media processing on the client side, or anything else about how this works.
