I built TiiHub: a niche iOS-native social network with Reddit's mechanics. Launching today, free.

Hi. I've been building TiiHub for 2+ years. It launches today on the App Store. Walkthrough video attached.
I'm walking the Apollo path: build natively on one platform, polish it deeply, then expand. So I built a niche social network for spatial media (spatial photos and videos, 360° content, LiDAR object scans, doodles, plus regular photo/video) with Reddit's social mechanics underneath. Not trying to replace Reddit broadly; doing one corner well at the bar Apollo earned its reputation on.
What I kept from Reddit:
- Hubs (subreddits) with full mod tools and audit logs
- Leaf karma, separate post/comment tallies, atomic against brigades
- Threaded comments, mod pinning, locked threads
- Sorts: Hot, Top, New, Controversial (with time windows)
- Feeds: Home, Popular, Latest, per-hub
- Mentions, bookmarks, blocking, content appeals
What I did differently:
- Hub-optional posts: Post to your profile (Facebook/Instagram-style), not just to a Hub.
- Two social graphs: Unilateral follows (Twitter) + mutual friends (Facebook), with a friends-only feed filter.
- First-class spatial media: 360°, spatial photo/video, LiDAR scans, floor plans, USDZ 3D models. Doodles (Vision OS only for the moment)
- In-app capture: iPhone LiDAR scanning, Room Capture, on-device photogrammetry, all built in.
- AI-assisted moderation (experimental): Hub-level auto-flagging plus AI reviewing moderator activity itself for abuse.
Centralized, closed source, iOS + visionOS only.
I'll gladly answer any questions and love hearing feedback. Curious whether non-spatial communities forming on TiiHub (writers, music, coding) is something you'd want, or if the niche framing feels too narrow regardless.

Nice! Android release?

Once user base picks up will definitely work on Android migration? I was Android developer in the past, so the core features are designed with migration ability in mind!
