Case Study: Freedom Social Network - Community Building

At approximately 10,000 hours, the biggest challenge for this project was the wide-ranging complexity of skills and depth of knowledge required to bring it all together. The client came to Smile with the goal of building the best social network out there and tasked our development team with doing the required research, analysis, development, and testing to bring it to life. The client also required a platform that would allow for a balance between freedom of speech and legality, as well as respect for human dignity. Additional considerations included providing information privacy, and securely managing mass amounts of data. It is using more technology than most development agencies will touch in a lifetime!

From strategy to implementation, including product positioning, branding, and development, the Smile development team built the desired platform on a NoSQL system, based on API standards for maximum interoperability, scalability, and stability. The application is also integrated with webRTC to allow for voice video, chat, streaming, and much more.

The platform allows users to control who can see posts and interests, offering multiple filters that can be customized. Freedom will also offer future live events and additional opportunities for people to connect and engage in real life. It is meant to be true social network that goes beyond the digital world. 

Freedom Social Network was built to be a place where people can speak freely, while maintaining a commitment to trust, honor, respect, and integrity among their peers. It is meant to be a place where people can find more meaningful connections so they can live healthier and happier lives.
