Now, let’s take a closer look at TapeReal with this video overview.

Project Overview

TapeReal is an "honest" social network created for a Canadian client who approached us with the goal of transforming an already good product into something exceptional.

With a growing community of 50,000 users, TapeReal is a platform where people share real-life stories – without filters, masks, or ads. Users record and share video and audio posts that can be unlocked using the platform's internal currency, offering a unique way to access exclusive content.
