Fine.dev + Social Platform

Built a social platform with Fine.dev?
We'll make it production-ready.

Social platforms are uniquely complex because your users create the content, interact with each other, and expect real-time responsiveness. AI tools can build feeds, profiles, and posting features, but the hard problems — content moderation, abuse prevention, notification systems, and handling viral growth — require careful engineering that AI tools don't provide.

Social Platform challenges in Fine.dev apps

Building a social platform with Fine.dev is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.

Content moderation and safety

Users will post spam, harassment, illegal content, and misinformation. You need automated content filtering, user reporting flows, admin moderation tools, and clear community guidelines enforcement. Launching without moderation is a legal and reputational risk.

Feed algorithm and performance

A chronological feed is simple but doesn't scale — loading thousands of posts to sort them on every request kills performance. AI tools build basic feeds that work with 50 posts but crawl with 50,000. You need pagination, caching, and potentially a ranking algorithm.

User-generated content storage

Images, videos, and files uploaded by users need proper storage — CDN delivery, format optimization, size limits, and malware scanning. AI tools implement basic file upload but skip content delivery optimization and security scanning.

Notification system

Likes, comments, follows, mentions, and messages all generate notifications across multiple channels — in-app, push, and email. Building a notification system that's timely without being spammy, and that handles user preferences, is a complex infrastructure challenge.

Privacy and blocking

Users need to control who sees their content, block other users, and manage their privacy settings. AI tools build public-by-default profiles without the privacy controls users expect and regulations require.

Abuse prevention

Fake accounts, bots, spam rings, and coordinated harassment are inevitable on any social platform. You need rate limiting on actions (follows, messages, posts), bot detection, and account verification to protect your legitimate users.

Authentication — account verification, secure sessions, OAuth providers
Data privacy — GDPR compliance, data deletion, privacy policy
Real-time features — live updates for feeds, messages, notifications

Common Fine.dev issues we fix

Beyond social platform-specific issues, these are Fine.dev patterns we commonly fix.

highBugs

Spec interpretation may differ significantly from intent

Fine.dev builds exactly what the specification says, not what you meant. Ambiguous specs lead to technically correct implementations that miss the actual product requirement.

highSecurity

Cross-file changes may miss security implications

When Fine.dev generates features spanning multiple files, security-sensitive changes — new endpoints, auth checks, data access patterns — are spread across the PR without a consolidated security review surface.

mediumTesting

Generated tests may not cover real-world edge cases

Fine.dev writes tests for the happy path and obvious failure cases from the spec. Edge cases not explicitly mentioned — concurrent requests, null inputs, rate limits — are frequently untested.

mediumBugs

Cross-file changes introduce inconsistencies

Large implementations touching many files accumulate subtle inconsistencies — type assumptions that don't hold across modules, different error handling patterns in different files.

Frequently asked questions

Can I build a social platform with Fine.dev?

Fine.dev is a great starting point for a social platform. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but social platforms have specific requirements — content moderation and safety and feed algorithm and performance — that need professional attention before launch.

What issues does Fine.dev leave in social platforms?

Common issues include: spec interpretation may differ significantly from intent, cross-file changes may miss security implications, generated tests may not cover real-world edge cases. For a social platform specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for content moderation and safety.

How do I make my Fine.dev social platform production-ready?

Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Fine.dev-built social platforms, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.

How much does it cost to fix a Fine.dev-built social platform?

Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger social platform projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
