I Couldn’t Think Of a Title
Hello everyone, it’s been a while since i’ve given you an update so I wanted to give you one 🙂 At the moment I can’t seem to catch my breath with my free time and the last month has been as manic as always. If it weren’t for a lack of motivation, my Grandad passed

Sprint 10 – Refinement
I have literally no idea where the last two weeks have gone. If it weren’t for Jira, I honestly wouldn’t know I’d achieved so much this sprint! Everything is blending into a single, really long, coffee fueled day and it’s weird. Stop it.

Sprint 9 – Now In Technicolor
Hello girls and boys! It’s me! yo friendly neighbourhood James! We’re going to do things a little differently this update. It felt a bit weird that everyone on the BETA were getting the updates a week after I share it everywhere else on Social media. So starting this week, beta’s come first! If you’re on

Sprint 3 – Cooking with matches!
This sprint has been a little… fucky. The winter has hit my mood hard and I struggled for the first week to focus. Stepping away, sleeping, working out – none of it worked. So it’s been a bit of a struggle. I almost booked a trip to the canaries just to get some of that

Sprint 2 – The ummm Foundations?
Oh hey! Quick recap Hi I’m James! I’m a 34, slightly belligerent and from the UK. Between January 2020 – April 2020, I’m building a social network! Why? Because it’s fucking hard to make new friends and socialise as you get older and I think the world needs a platform that helps with those things.

We’re going Open Source… ish
Ever since I began SoSa back in 2014, I wanted to find a way to make it open source! Lack of time, resources and a bunch of clone sites popping up meant I didn’t ever get around to making the source code available on Github. Well, that’s about to change! With the relaunch of ...
