I made a clone of YikYak because I thought that would be a good idea For people in lockdown.
After almost finishing it (only few bugs left) I decided to not bother trying to release it. Like most projects my initial enthusiasm went out the window once I got something working. It’s so ripe for abuse too that it would probably make people feel worse about themselves rather than better. I always sort of knew this but the enthusiasm for the better of me.
I’m instead going to open source all the parts of it (the web app, the sql to recreate the dB, the mobile app, and the API) as that probably has more impact.
