Hivemind - A Reddit Clone
Hivemind is a community-driven platform where discussions and content sharing come to life. Built as a Reddit clone, it leverages modern web technologies to deliver a seamless and scalable user experience.
Stack
- NextJS
- AWS
- MySQL
- Prisma
Side Note
Unforunately this project was using PlanetScale, who recently shutdown their free tier, so I will have to go back and do some refactoring before it’s back online. I will eventually migrate this to run off of one of my linode instances which can host it’s own Postgres server.
Overview
Hivemind is an innovative platform designed to mirror the dynamic and diverse nature of Reddit’s community interaction. With a focus on user-friendly design and robust functionality, Hivemind stands as a modern interpretation of a forum, enhanced by the latest advancements in web development.
The backbone of Hivemind is its tech stack, which includes NextJS for server-side rendering and static site generation, AWS for scalable cloud infrastructure, MySQL for a reliable database solution, and Prisma for efficient database management. This combination ensures a resilient and flexible architecture that can handle the ebb and flow of community engagement.
