The application is based on lifestyle content such as fashion, beauty, and travel and allowing users to share images and connect with others through a visual-heavy layout.

A no-code app builder is a tool that lets you create apps without writing any coding. It uses drag-and-drop interfaces, prebuilt templates, and visual workflows so anyone—beginners or non-developers—can build mobile or web apps quickly.

Lemon8 is a lifestyle social media app often described as a hybrid of Instagram and Pinterest, where users share curated photos and videos focused on topics like fashion, beauty, food, and wellness. It is owned by ByteDance, the same Chinese parent company behind TikTok. As TikTok’s "sister app," Lemon8 utilizes the same powerful recommendation algorithm to personalize user feeds and is often viewed as a strategic backup for ByteDance amidst potential TikTok bans, although it faces similar regulatory scrutiny due to its ownership.
