I've been wondering this for some time. A social network, but only with the following features:

- Sign up
- Post status
- Like statuses
- Comment on statuses
- Admin panel to log in and remove spam/illegal content
- No photo hosting except profile pic (images in statuses can be embedded though)

How hard is it? It doesn't have to look good, just work as intended.


its not hard, i think what you want its already exist and we know about instagram, whatsapp, bbm, line, wechat, and else and i consider this is like social network because we meet many people from many places, we have talk with each other, sharing our idea or anything else.

There was a 'minimalist' social site, called ello.co a few years back. Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ello_(social_network)

Maybe you would like to take a look.

I believe there are already some themes in certain CMS that allow you to do that?

Depending on how much time you spent on developing and how familar you are with programming, this shouldn't take way to long.

If you would spent 3-4 hours per day (intensiv, without distraction), you maybe get this done within 1-2 months or less.

Friendly Regards, and in order you plan to do this, good luck Smiley

depends entirely on how "minimalist" you want it!

no graphics, just plain old html, no css, no javascript, some backend, and Yay!!!

is that sufficient? or OTT?

Yes, no graphics (just fontawesome for buttons). Any eventual stylings could be made in the CSS sheet.

Forgot to add: No weird algorithms. Your friends' latest statuses shows up first, no exceptions.
