Distributed Social Networking (Team: Beeg Yoshi)

Project Description

See here for the full project-spec
Create a social network platform with a "general API" that can connect to other hypothetical social network platforms.
The platform will allow importing of other sources of posts, as well as distributing sharing posts / content.
The platform will follow an "inbox model" => Share posts to your friends by sending them over.
Encryption / security will not be much implemented.
Basically it's a social network platform that can "accumulate" content & send its own content to / from other platforms.
