TL;DR: Driwwwle is an open-source social network to showcase your projects with like, comments, notifications, profiles and real-time chat.

As developers, we like to look out for new and exciting projects or products. However, finding them is not the easiest task out there. Sure, you can scroll through GitHub's trending section to find a lot of awesome products but what if it is closed source?

Things aren't so hard for designers though. They can visit a website like Dribbble or Behance and enjoy the thousands of creative designs easily. What if we had something like Dribbble, but for developers?

Introducing Driwwwle

Driwwwle is a social network for developers to showcase their projects or products with other developers across the globe. Just like any other social network out there, you can like posts, save them privately, leave a comment and follow your favorite developers to build your own personal feed.

Server-side rendering with Next.js
Cookie-based authorization with JSON web tokens
Infinite scrolling feed with React Query
Cloud image upload with Cloudinary
Like, save, and comment on posts
Realtime chat with Socket.io
Follow developers and build personal feed

and a lot more..

Sounds interesting? I would love for you to create an account on Driwwwle and post your awesome creations.
