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.

OP mentioned typescript, next, React in another comment, but no backend language

Commenting for people in the future, Typescript can be used in the backend (and is actually pretty popular there for some reason).
