Built a scalable backend using Node.js to handle user data, content management, and real-time interactions. Developed APIs for the mobile app to communicate with the backend server. Implemented security measures to protect user data and prevent unauthorized access.

3. Community Building:

Fostered a supportive and engaging community within the app through features like the feed, chat, and content creation tools. Moderated user-generated content to maintain a positive and inclusive environment. Encouraged user interaction and participation through notifications and personalized recommendations.
