I Built a Developer-Only Social Platform — Meet Devand 🛠️

Made by Nandan Das

A social space built by developers, for developers. No noise. Just dev.

🤔 Why I Built This

Every existing social platform feels wrong for developers.

Twitter is full of noise. LinkedIn is too corporate. GitHub isn't social enough. I wanted something in between — a place where developers can share their work, follow other builders, and actually talk to people who code.

So I built Devand.

🔵 What is Devand?

Devand is a social platform designed exclusively for developers. Think Twitter, but every feature is made for the dev experience.

Here's what you can do on Devand:

📝 Post updates, thoughts, and code snippets to the Explore feed
👤 Get your own developer profile with badges and your tech stack
❤️ Like, repost, comment, and bookmark posts
💬 Send direct messages to other developers
🔔 Get notified on likes, follows, and comments
🏆 Climb the leaderboard based on your activity
🛡️ Admin moderation system with a Bluetooth verified badge

🎨 Design

Devand uses a brutalist monochrome design — dark background, sharp edges, monospace fonts. It's minimal and gets out of the way of the content. Built for focus, not distraction.

🛡️ Admin System

The platform has a built-in admin panel. The admin account gets a special 🔵 Bluetooth Verified legendary badge and can remove any post from the explore section directly — keeping the platform clean for everyone.
