Hacker NewsWhat it does: It provides a lightweight bridge to browse public profiles. I’ve focused on making the most important parts of the profile accessible: Main Feed: High-res images and posts. Reels: Seamless video and reel playback. Tagged: Access to public posts where the user is tagged.
Technical Details: Next.js 14 (App Router) & TypeScript: Built for speed and a snappy mobile experience. Optimized Data Fetching: The core challenge was ensuring stability and a smooth experience when loading media-heavy feeds like Reels and Tagged posts. I've focused heavily on the backend architecture to keep the delivery fast and reliable. Architecture: The UI is built with Tailwind CSS to keep it minimal and responsive.
Why I built this: Sometimes you just need to check a public business or a creator's profile quickly without the usual friction of modern social platforms. I wanted to build a "one-click" solution that just works. Current State: It currently supports public profiles only. I’m still working on refining certain media types, but the core posts, reels, and tagged sections are live. I'm a solo dev with a long background in product and architecture. I’d love to hear your feedback on the loading speeds and the overall UX!
