UniTruths

Uni-Truths is a Facebook community management platform for university students. It was created off the back of the closure of Yik-Yak, a popular anonymous, location-based social media platform.

Using Uni-Truths, we were able to create a moderation platform for students to manage their own communities. Starting at the University of Bristol, Uni-Truths is now used internationally by a large number of students with over 100,000 monthly users.

The tech is now maintained but not actively developed.

Tech Stack

Uni-Truths was built using Laravel, Vue and Bootstrap. It was originally built on Laravel 5.7, but has since been upgraded to keep up with the latest Laravel features.
