What's your business plan? The code side of things is pretty trivial, the business side is more difficult I think.
In other words, how do you plan to attract a critical mass of users that generate significant enough income (directly or indirectly) to cover your costs?
What is your projected hosting costs per user? What are your fixed costs? What are your marginal costs per thousand users?
What is your revenue model? Subscriptions? Advertising? Other? Some mix of the above? What are your projected returns to an investor?
How are you planning to moderate the content? (And yes, it will need to be moderated, else you just have 4chan).
What is your marketing plan to attract new users? How will you differentiate from a dozen other options in this space?
- subbed 3y agoThe code side of things is not as easy as it sounds, especially not the safety part of things. I can’t project hosting costs without knowing how many users could join but initially I would say in the hundreds, then thousands. Revenue model is a pro and ultra subscription model. Moderation will be important but unsure how it will be done.
- quickthrower2 3y agoScale and high availability wont be easy. They will cost $$$. So you need to be a business, probably get funding and before you know it you are a corporation trying to make money from non-paying users as the server bills come in and any hifalutin pure morals you had have to slide a bit. You have become just like your dad, i.e. Reddit.
