My social network app that I was telling you about in a previous thread - It
was very private. I used an API called Rumbletalk, I had private video and
voice calling just like WhatsApp. I only collected username & password.

Everything account-related was hosted on my vps, but Rumbletalk hosted the
voice/video calls on their servers. The users had SSL connections to my
website, and I delivered the web content over the app.

Anything can be done on the web and I think big tech will someday realize that
people are smart enough to use web browsers and that they can delete the play
store in a single swipe.
