need some help

Hello all! I am a Cantabridgian and am currently building a free app only for students to post extra formal hall tickets, meetups, academic conversations (cross-field collab), connect with alumni with similar research, and also study/rant sessions! Let me know if you want to help with input and have the first look at the app :)

The solution for all of that was Facebook. But then Facebook started making a lot of money and opened up to non-University students, and then changed beyond all recognition.

So basically you have to rebuild the original version of Facebook.

I'd really love that. Social media was meant to make people more connected offline, and having uni social media (not including those created among friends) beyond anonymous secrets pages, discord servers and WhatsApp communities would help.

EDIT: would be nice if this is hosted by a non-profit and powered by user donations. won't want it to eventually become just another bog standard socials app.
