I was looking and it looks like some variants of it were already created. Part of me is bummed out about it, since i thought it was a good idea. Based off the prior revisions, it doesn't look like it's getting much traction either. For those wondering, I was gonna create a distributed app with blockchain.
The idea is it would use solidity smart contracts to create a crypto address messaging system. I was then gonna combine an upgoat style feed system and IPFS to create a drive share system. The initial drive system would have my favorite redpill content such as TRP from old voat, mein kampf, etc. I even wanted to add a relayer in the mix so it would operate like a mocked active directory system with multi cast. Part of me wonders if i should just give up now, or do it anyways and see what happens.
My suggestion would be to go ahead and develop your app. Take the time to use their app in order to pinpoint its shortcomings and use that experience to improve upon your own.
Choice and healthy competition keeps innovation going (you don't need to be the first and only option, you just have to be the better one).

From my experience in using apps, you don't even have to be the 'better one', you could just have a specific feature that is better. And even then, by virtue of just being different than the existing similar apps, you may garner enough attention and a sizable enough user-base to find it worthy enough to continue it's development.
I've always been ambitious, however my gf is very risk averse as is her family. As far as they are concerned, if there is no redemption plan or pathway to success that can be guaranteed, than it's not worth building. The funny thing is my gf and her family actually had a killer app idea which was eventually used to spurn this new idea. I simply changed around some pieces and enhanced some of the features from a second app i was working on to create the new app im working on. Practically the app is 75% their idea and 25% my idea.
The reasoning was they didn't want to get involved in the app creating problems, or potentially being sued, so the app was sunsetted and replaced with this new app version. I added my inspiration from veracrypt, and multi cast messaging system and my new work on ethereum.
Whilst there are some app variants out there, a lot of them don't quite do what i want it to do, and are missing a lot of features. And they don't have the granularity of what im trying to do either. My gf and her family do make a good point that if someone sues me or litigates, or something, than it would not be ideal. So whilst the app definitely has a market attached to it( i was gonna use upgoat as an initial spearhead), there are also a lot of risks which may not make it worth it
So you want to tie your NatSoc meme collection to a blockchain so that all activity is transparent, auditable, and trackable with a permanent and durable record? Why not just wear a sign that says "I'm a FED"?
that's one part of around 3 or 4. I want to use TLS to create it all through encrypted means. The blockchain acts as the intermediary, but the entire thing is built off encryption on the chain. Hence the need for a relayer in the middle between the app and the blockchain. Think of the entire project as a variant of Active Directory + Veracrypt + Blockchain + a mobile app.
