Create Your Own Social Platform

Build a private community for local running clubs. Members join clubs, post training updates, follow teammates and report inappropriate posts. Moderators review reports and membership requests.

Include these capabilities:
- User profiles with avatars and bios
- News feed with post creation and reactions
- Friend/follow system with notifications
- Direct messaging interface
- Media upload and sharing

Build the complete working project with its routes, data model and interactions. For saved or private data, implement persistence, authentication and server-side permissions. Keep API credentials on the server. For external services, document the required setup and use test mode until real accounts are connected. Do not present a simulated integration as a completed live connection.

Make the interface responsive, with accessible labels, keyboard navigation and visible focus. Include loading, empty, validation and error states. Use clearly labelled sample data, never invented customer testimonials or results. Choose a visual direction suited to this project and keep typography, spacing and controls consistent. Explain how to run, test, export and deploy the source.

Verify this end-to-end flow:
Post as one member, respond as another and report the post. Verify visibility rules, blocked users and the moderator's report queue.
