Hello everyone, We built clubsall, a frontend for federated content. Since the goal is to help build a reddit competitor, open sourcing is the logical next step.

However, without a review, I am afraid website could get hacked quickly.

Does someone with experience in scanning code for security issues or white hat hacking wants to help increase confidence so I can open source it?

Obscurity is not security, so you could argue that you should just open source it anyway. Any security holes present are also there right now - the fact that the source code is not available is irrelevant.

But if you insist, it may help if you say what programming language is used.

Typescript, Next, Cloudflare

TypeScript for the backend too? Sorry, can't help with that. But I'd say just open source it anyway.

I already mentioned those in another comment (https://lemmy.world/comment/12877250) with React as well, but those are all frontend languages.

Which languages was used for the backend?

You can write backbends in Typescript, It's what the *keys use.
