Frank, a developer from La Habana, Cuba, has created a social network called Boniatillo to address the challenges of using traditional social media platforms in Cuba. Boniatillo allows users to post text, images, and videos, create polls, and receive tips via Transfermóvil, Cuba's national payment system. The platform is optimized for slow and unstable internet connections, with features such as image compression, video resizing, and lazy loading.
