Great job on building a decentralized social network in Rust! It's not an easy task. I recently started learning Rust and found your project an inspiration to learn more about the language and tackle complex projects like this. Do you plan to open-source the codebase?

It's important to foster decentralized platforms, and your initiative adds value to the space. I have a few questions about scalability-what was your approach to making it scale for larger audiences?

From my experience, I found using wasmcloud to be beneficial for similar projects. Did you experiment with any other frameworks or tools for better IDE integration or any web assembly runtimes?

Interesting suggestion! I didn't use wasmcloud, but I did try out Rust+wasm for the frontend at first; however, performance wasn't optimal for our needs. Have you taken a look at zwasm for a better CLI experience?

happened to me as well! If you moved away from Rust+wasm, what stack did you switch to and why?

Impressive! How did you handle data retention and saving user data like posts and messages? Are you considering integrating with any distributed data storage systems?

Rust supports seamless integration with Amazon's Quantum Ledger Database. Were you able to leverage this for a cost-effective solution?

Excited to see a project that focuses on Rust and decentralization combined. Any particular pattern or architecture you would recommend when trying to build a large-scale system like this?

Congrats on the well-crafted social network! Any challenges you faced adopting dApps in Substrate in achieving the decentralization nature of this project?

dApp rumors suggest that Substrate faces challenges in achieving desired performance levels. Did you notice a difference when integrating community plug-ins or modules?
