I’m Arun, a 17-year-old developer from India. I built WhiteLotus, a new kind of social platform focused entirely on authentic human connection.
Every user is AI face-verified — so there are no bots, no fake profiles, and only one account per person.
Core Features:
Face-verified signups only — no spam or fake accounts
1-on-1 private chats with approved friends
Photo-based posting — keep it visual and real
“Kingdoms” (Fire, Water, Earth, Air) — social tribes that compete weekly
“Moments” — instant camera-only posts (no uploads, no filters)
My mission is to build a space where people connect authentically, grow social trust, and have fun — without the noise of bots or fake personas.
I built it with Flutter (frontend) and Django (backend). It’s live on the Play Store: [Play Store link here]
I’d love your feedback on:
How to improve engagement and retention
Any product or UX suggestions
Thoughts on the “real people only” concept
Thanks for reading — I’m trying to learn, iterate, and build something meaningful.
— Arun
