Authorization allows users to sign up and log in via Email, Google or Apple using Firebase Authentication. This ensures secure access to the app's features, with the backend (NestJS) managing authentication tokens and user sessions.
Users can create, view, comment, like, and dislike Thread-Points on a map. This feature uses the react-native-maps library on the frontend and MapBox API via NestJS on the backend for geocoding and map-related services.
To create a Thread, the user should choose an emoji, and it will display on the Pin. Optionally, the user can add a photo and make a Thread Public & Private.
Based on the algorithm, the Thread list provides the user with the nearest and most relevant threads. Threads serve as the main discussion units where users can post, comment, vote and like. Implemented using React Native for the frontend and Getstream.io for real-time updates, the backend manages thread data and interactions via NestJS and Prisma.
The subscription plan feature allows users to subscribe to premium content or additional features within the app.
1-on-1 chat enables direct messaging between users, utilizing Stream.io for real-time communication. React Native handles the chat interface, while NestJS manages chat sessions and integrates with Stream.io for message handling.
One of the core profile features is Karma — it provides a user level based on his Threads and Comments activity. The user profile allows users to follow or unfollow others, reply to posts, and view user activity on a map with markers showing their posts and interactions.
The user can create a list of Threads to share with friends. Also, e.g. - best ski spots; Lists can be private or public. The access is provided by the deep links.
