open social

This month, we talked about two different methods for creating a community site. The first was using the Open Social Drupal distribution for creating site https://www.floridavoterrestoration.com/. We walked through how to create different content on the site, including how Open Social builds it. We also walked through the backend, showed pros/cons of using Open Social, and how to tweak some of the default settings to make the site more usable. For example, all events in Open Social are upcoming events. We showed how to display past events as well.

This month, we talked about the Open Social Drupal distribution. This distro is currently the most popular way to create a community site in Drupal, so we dived in and looked at some of the features that come out of the box with Open Social. We also discussed another aspect that is important to creating a new sites: SSL certificates. We talked about using SSL certificates on the bare domain and on www, and on different types of hosting hosting as well.

Hi there! I'm new to Drupal and Headless implementation, so, forgive newbie questions. Has anyone any experience with implementing social communities in a Headless implementation? In particular, looking to use Open Social extension and would like to be able to create a custom UI for it. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks so much in advance!
