Replyke v5 is now open-source, providing an API and React/React Native libraries for building social features in apps more efficiently.
The journey of building Replyke started as a solution to the repetitive task of creating comment sections for projects.
After realizing the need for a more advanced comment section, a rebuild was initiated to incorporate modern design and enhanced functionality.
The development expanded to include features like mentions, likes, replies, notifications, authentication, feeds, entities, follow capabilities, and more.
Replyke v4 and v5 offer features like comment systems, feeds, notifications, curated lists, user authentication, admin tools, and more with backend APIs and React/React Native components.
Replyke's layered API-centric approach consists of the API layer, developer libraries & SDKs, and prebuilt UI components for easy integration.
The Replyke Dashboard allows for moderation tasks such as monitoring content, handling reports, removing inappropriate content, and managing users.
By transitioning to an open-source model, Replyke aims to encourage community contributions and become a versatile framework for developing social products quickly and securely.
Developers can save time by leveraging Replyke for social feature integration and can contribute or stay updated through the community on Discord.
For those interested, Replyke can be accessed on GitHub, and contributions are welcomed to enhance its capabilities further.
Yanay Zabary, the creator of Replyke, welcomes conversations and connections via platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, and BlueSky.
