Building a Blog / Medium clone

[JaccoM]

Hello notJust Developers,

My idea for an app is that we can build a blog, or something like a Medium clone. I think there are quite some good learnings we can take from that.

• Setting up your own backend in which you can CRUD your blog posts (something like Contentful headless CMS maybe which has GraphQL support)
• Data fetching / API management
• Pull To Refresh / Offline blog caching
• Push notifications when new blog is published
• In-app purchases / subscriptions for unlocking premium blog posts (I think you used RevenueCat for this before which you can reuse)

I think you can also do a really cool showcase of different animations like maybe Shared Element Transition from Blog Overview to Blog Detail.

Thanks for voting snd happy DEVember!
