ML-based social platform where the algorithms learn a user's tastes. Limited to images, it's somewhere between Tumblr/VSCO/Pinterest/IG. It works for me, and my girlfriend loves using it, but the problem is she always wants to export her chosen images back to another platform for posting. I sense it will be a chicken and the egg problem.
Was mostly so I could learn how to handle big data (~1B edges)

No product survives the first contact with the customer. This already happened to you despite of having only one customer - your girlfriend.
If I were you I would be really happy about her wanting to post the chosen images back to an other platform. This means your product would go viral on its own without any help. Think of a fair annual price, triple it and go live. There are many bored people out there with to much money in their pockets.

I suppose you are right. At the very least it's an item for the resume.

Well, the discovery of new images to share on your preferred social media is a problem that some people have.
Why dont you embrace it instead of fighting it and trying to build your own social media?

Indeed, I built it for my own needs in the first place. I've collected the data from multiple sources, some of the TOS I agreed to explicitly said not to use it in competition as a social media platform. I would be happy enough if people used it for discovery.
