Can the app scale to thousands of concurrent users?

Yes. We architect with WebSocket connections, message queues, and CDN delivery so the platform handles real-time interactions at scale.

How is content moderation handled?

The build includes user reporting, admin moderation queues, and optional AI-powered content screening. You control the moderation policies.

Absolutely. Premium subscriptions, promoted posts, or in-app purchases can be added in follow-up phases without rebuilding the core.
