can i build a social network app from scratch using appery? Users join, then view list of users, then click to add users to favsfriends, then have friends accept. I don't want to use an existing social network, I want to build a unique network. Yammer api is too pricey.

any help out there?

Hello,

Sure you can. Here is an example of creating a chat:

Thank you, I am aware of the chat functionality. I was specifically referring to some of the social network functionality like sending a friend request, and accepting a friend request.

Please, can you point me to a tutorial...

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no such tutorial. You can find the list of all available tutorials here:

Hello!

You can do that with Appery.io

For example:

For these goals you can add new collection "friends"(userOne: pointer, userTwo: pointer, type("request", "friend"...) ) and store here friends and requests or other types.

Thank you so much. Any ideas how I could have users 'select' a 'friend' from an entire list?
