Reddit clone with wordpress using bricks and ACF

How To
1

Hey Bricks builders, is there any AI UI generator for Bricks yet? :smiley: Just kiddin :smiley:

I would like to ask what do you think about the idea of building a reddit/quora clone for a local market in a local language using WP, Bricks and ACF ?
I assume it can be done just not sure with myself. Its fairly easy to setup:
Topics in ACF
Posts in topics with ACF
Comments of posts - using the WP comments feature maybe ?
Build UI temps in bricks for everything
Even make users login and make them access only to some kind of a dashboard as opposed to the WP Admin it self - Im no sure with this par actually…

Am I missing something ? Do you have tips for me what to look for and how to approach it ?

bricks builder, posts, categories, custom permalink setting category to /r/ maybe :wink: and comments yes.

your biggest hurdle is frontend posting and profile pages …etc but aaaaall are possible there are tons of free plugins for these.

oh and comment editing. now days people expect to edit their comments if they wish to in all social media sites :slight_smile:

acf for what ? you dont even need acf :slight_smile:

I made something similar in the past but this is completely php posts and comments and buddypress for profiles …etc

bricks builder probably didnt existed back then when I coded this

nice one… about the comments: isn’t it simpler than maybe to create a custom post type for comments the question is whether I can tie comments to posts and also to users etc… this feels overwhelaming just to think about it in terms of wordpress :slight_smile:

every posttype can support comments doesnt matter

hardest thing is to add your profiles on comments adding the profiles so people can see or edit profiles

there tons of ready to use solutions for this
you cant handle all of this stuff custom you have to use some ready plugins

for example this is the best plugin to solve multiple things at ones

free version

practice understand how the structure works

if you are looking for one click install type solution you can buy buddyboss
but still there are tons of limitation for design with buddyboss
