Product since 2011

Vii Engine

A turnkey social-network engine.

A platform to launch your own social network or private community: profiles and feed, private messages, groups, media, apps and monetisation — all your own, on a single codebase. We built it back in 2011 under the NiceWeb name — long before “your own social network” became a trend.

What’s inside the engine

Vii Engine is not a “business-card site” but a full social platform out of the box. Below are the key building blocks; the engine has 50+ modules in total, switched on and configured per project.

Profile & wall

Bio, statuses, a wall of posts, visitors and subscribers.

Friends & subscriptions

Friends, followers and subscriptions — the users’ social graph.

News feed

Updates from friends and groups: posts, comments, likes and reposts.

Messages

Private chats and conversations with history and notifications.

Groups

Communities and public pages with their own feed, roles and content.

Photos & albums

Photos and albums: upload, viewing and comments.

Video

Video clips with a built-in player.

Music

Audio tracks, a player and playlists.

Games & apps

A platform for apps and games, including “Loto”.

Gifts & UBM

Virtual gifts and an in-app currency (UBM) with a balance.

Notes & blog

Personal notes and a blog for longer entries.

Documents & bookmarks

File documents and bookmarks for the content you need.

…plus site search, privacy settings, notifications and an admin panel — all in one engine.

(02) Why we built it

Not a site — a product

the year we released
our own engine

In 2011 there were almost no ready-made solutions: everyone built “their own social network” from scratch. We took a different path — we designed the whole engine: the architecture, the database, the modules and the admin panel, built for thousands of active users.

Vii Engine was sold as a licence — real projects and communities launched on it. And it taught us the main thing: to hold an entire large product in mind — performance, security, usability and growth — not just a single page.

Today Vii Engine is part of our history. But it is exactly this experience that stands behind every product Vii Studio builds now.
