It was ABSOLUTELY wonderful to have Firebug back in 2006/7 timeframe. I really enjoyed using it and looking at the DOM and whatnot!

I’m honestly surprised nobody’s taken the bait here; the answer is a resounding and emphatic no.
You need a team (multiple teams, really) of developers to build and maintain the set of functionality on either Twitter or Reddit.
One 10x dev could probably get something going to kickstart fundraising, but to reach true feature parity, you’re talking multiple teams of engineers executing months (if not years) of work.
In 2022, I'd imagine there is some startup that does this. I'm not asking for something that truly scales to millions of users and has ALL the features of production reddit / hackernews. I'm thinking an MVP production app that has basic things that we all think about that a social networking app would have. I'm surprised that it's still so hard to find a "SaaS in a box" with some sample production apps like Twitter-clone/Reddit-clone, etc that does all the wiring for us.

Created https://biztoc.com on GCP from scratch — As with most ready-made stuff, it would have been too much hassle to tweak thing in the long run. Spam detection in the likes of Reddit is probably the only thing I would resort to a third party solution.
very interesting site!

I meant I'm looking for something that takes away majority of the work/headache for what I want like retool + firebase (potentially)

> The requirement I have is that it needs to be production-ready.
At what scale?
Good question. This is in the B2B2C. I doubt I'll get millions of people per day LOL. So anything decent but something that I can quickly set up is what I'm looking for.
