Talky emerged from a vision to create a vibrant and user-friendly social media platform that goes beyond traditional networking. The project was conceived to provide users with a dynamic space for meaningful interactions, fostering connections through engaging features.

Project Objectives

• Foster active user engagement through intuitive features.
• Ensure secure user authentication and protect user data.
• Enable users to create diverse posts with text or images.
• Increase daily active users, post interactions, and time spent on the platform.

Project Challenge

The development and deployment of Talky as a comprehensive social media platform present several challenges that require strategic planning and careful execution:

• Scalability: Ensuring that the platform can seamlessly scale to accommodate a growing user base while maintaining optimal performance.
• Security and Privacy: Safeguarding user data and ensuring robust security measures to prevent unauthorized access.

• Complex Comment Hierarchy: Managing and displaying a hierarchical comment structure with up to two levels of comments (comment and sub-comment).
• Optional Features Integration: Successfully integrating optional features like OTP-based login and friend tagging without compromising the platform's stability.

Scalability: Implement a cloud-based infrastructure that allows for easy scaling based on user demand.

Security and Privacy: Employ HTTPS to encrypt data in transit and ensure secure communication.

User Engagement: Introduce gamification elements such as badges, rewards, or user achievements to incentivize engagement.

Complex Comment Hierarchy: Design an intuitive and user-friendly interface for managing and displaying comment hierarchies.

Optional Features Integration: Integrate optional features incrementally, starting with a small user group for testing.

Conduct thorough testing at each integration phase to identify and address any issues.
