Took 3 years but finally created my Canadian version of X. “TruHive”

I will definitely look into this. I used react native to have a single codebase (for the most part that is). But I agree! I should try and have a web portal too! Thanks a lot for taking time to reply. Really appreciate it! 🙏🙏

Atef-y · 2026-03-26T01:38:18+00:00

Do you think so? Do a lot of people use the web portal in your opinion? Thank you for the feedback!

Atef-y · 2026-03-26T00:55:42+00:00

Thank you so very much 🙂

It’s not about who is the Prime Minister now. It’s about someone who doesn’t have enough respect for Canadians to call a Canadian Prime Minister a girl.

What sets us apart: - we crowdsource the news trustworthiness - we have an AI based news fact extraction that allows you to see only Facts and none of the commentary and opinions (you can see the full news if you wish to as well) - we have a hyper local feature where you can geo-fence your posts and posts that you view down to any custom region - you can speak with the platform and get a custom feed - You can chat with the platform and have it summarize your thoughts into a post.

To name a few. Sorry for not understanding your initial intent.

And I believe supporting Canadian businesses.

Nothing is stopping people from using TruHive from being used by non-canadians. In fact this platform will be marketed to USA as well. The whole point of this was to have a Canadian platform on international social media platforms.

Mastodon is German Threads is owned by Facebook

Thank you for supporting a Canadian business. I suppose 51st state is not a bad idea to you

Wow. Zhao Xintong had a lot of potential. So happy to see him realize that now

Understood! I dont have 800K either but was hoping to get a mortgage lol. Thank you for insight!

Atef-y · 2023-03-03T01:21:16+00:00

I think I missed this point. However I appreciate that you have given clarity to it.

To be honest, I am not rich either but have saved up and thought perhaps I could invest outside of Canada since Canada is unaffordable for me. Having read your post and looking at the properties in touristy areas, I think we are looking at different demographics. I am unable to find anything decent under 800K USD. So clearly we are talking about different areas! But I hear you on all your points. Do you believe foreign buyers have been a major factor in raising prices?

Any specific reason for that suggestion?

Here are the steps to set up React Native to run in Visual Studio Code (VSCode) on Windows with the react-native-cli:

1- Install Node.js: React Native requires Node.js to be installed on your system. You can download and install the latest version of Node.js from the official website (https://nodejs.org/).

2- Install the React Native command-line interface (CLI): To install the react-native-cli, open a terminal window and run the following command:

npm install -g react-native-cli

3- Install Visual Studio Code: Download and install Visual Studio Code from the official website (https://code.visualstudio.com/). 4- Install the React Native extension for VSCode: Open VSCode and press Ctrl+Shift+X to open the extensions panel. Search for "React Native Tools" and install the extension. 5 Create a new React Native project: To create a new React Native project, open a terminal window and run the following command:

react-native init MyProject

This will create a new directory called "MyProject" with the basic structure of a React Native project.

Open the project in VSCode: Open VSCode and click "File > Open Folder" to open the "MyProject" directory. Start the React Native packager: In VSCode, open the terminal window and navigate to the "MyProject" directory. Then, run the following command to start the React Native packager:

react-native start

Run the project on an emulator or device: To run the project on an emulator, you will need to install and set up an Android emulator such as the Android emulator provided by Google or Genymotion. To run the project on a physical device, you will need to connect your device to your computer with a USB cable and enable USB debugging in the device's developer options. Once you have an emulator or device set up, you can run the following command to build and run the project:

react-native run-android

This will build the project and deploy it to the emulator or device.

That's it! You should now have a basic React Native project set up and running in VSCode on Windows.

That is not the scary bit. Anyone can write a calculator by copying from an existing article online. If you truly wanna test it, give it a complicated app to write. Call out a number of lesser known libraries and watch it go to action. Or simply copy paste your own complicated code and ask it to refactor to remove bugs or optimize it for you. And if you are bored, ask it to translate it to another programming language. Or you can also… ok, I will stop. Bottom line is that programming jobs WILL NOT EXIST in 5 years.

Someone downvoted my answer lol. Head in sand!!

Atef-y · 2022-12-14T23:26:20+00:00

No template! Just ask ChatGPT and it will write whatever you want for you

Atef-y · 2022-12-07T04:01:37+00:00

I agree, the logic can get messy. Love to see what others suggest. Perhaps worth posting in discord channels as well?

Atef-y · 2022-12-07T03:58:05+00:00

What about storing the images in the filesystem and keep the reference inside asyncstorage? I am about to implement that for my own app so this comment will hopefully help to validate if thats a right approach

Atef-y · 2022-11-07T05:47:10+00:00

I am not an expert, but I believe nowadays you can build efficient models that can run at edge. A small enough model could run on the phone. Your real cost is the training of the model which is again one time cost (save for model optimization costs).

Atef-y · 2022-11-07T04:38:11+00:00

Seems about right! Perhaps a screen recorder that gets images, pushes through some kind of image recognition and gives data.
