My point is, if you focus on the core features. Lets say something like twitter, it seems to be not THAT hard on the backend side. Sure then you optimize your GUI for different devices that may need a bit more work. But I would say a minimal simple version can be done in few months. How long did it take Zuckerberg to create facebook with php again…?
- npteljes 5y agoIf you begin a software project like this, it's wise to consider the existing solutions. In this case, it looks like something off-the-shelf fit the bill. Why not use it? Why not use their expertise that matured over time? Why repeat rookie mistakes with a home-baked solution? These are the things to consider.
- MichaelRazum 5y agoWhy not use it? Why not use their expertise that matured over time? Not sure, maybe it is a the right way but maybe you would not be able to move fast forward after the launch. Why repeat rookie mistakes with a home-baked solution? Actually I think in an early stage it would be good for a team to make some mistakes and to learn. If it really has to compete with facebook or twitter I just don't think that using an open source solution is the right way.
