The biggest challenge was improving responsetimes and after researching I decided that I needed to learn and use Redis and not cache entire responses but instead specificitems in customized ways. For the front-end I wanted an IOS and Android friendly website and developed cross-compatiblefunctionality from scratch such as infinite scrolls, history integrated modals and popups. Built a fast and robust custom searchalgorithm without using any third-party services. Content moderation (flags, edits, unpublishing of posts, authorizing new users tobecoming authors) was done manually and I built an fully-automatic system whereby certain qualified users were given privileges tovote on these issues. Also built a complex backend for moderation off all the content. The final big challenge was movingthousands of posts, threads, messages, users etc. from an old cakephp mysql installation to the new system.
