In-Depth Guide

Building a Twitter Clone: Microblogging Platform

Twitter proved that short-form public posts with a social graph create massive engagement. A Twitter clone needs character-limited posts with rich media support, a bidirectional follow system (not mutual friends), a home timeline of followed accounts, notifications for interactions, reply threads, quote posts, and a trending topics feature. Fabricate generates microblogging platforms with all of these features, enabling niche communities to have Twitter-style conversations with relevant people.

Post System: Character-limited posts with image/video/link support, reply threading, quote-posts, repost/share, polls, and scheduling.

Follow Graph: One-directional follows (unlike mutual friends), follower/following counts, lists for curated timelines, and block/mute.

Discovery: Hashtag pages, trending topics by engagement, user suggestions, and search across posts and users.
