I'm planning to create a webtoon-like platform and, as a UI designer, I only have basic knowledge of WordPress. I'm looking to implement features similar to those on Webtoon, including user registration, a shop for coins and merchandise, comics with commenting and sharing capabilities, user-generated content, featured content, rankings, and search tools. There's also the consideration of having it as an app. Given all that, I'm wondering if WordPress is too complex for this project, or if it's a suitable option. Thanks in advance!

I think using WordPress for a project like this might not be the best bet. As a full-stack developer, I'd recommend considering the Trellis, Bedrock, or Safe stack if you go that route. You'd definitely need to use an S3-like storage for your comics and set up a CDN to manage performance, since storing them directly on your WordPress database could be problematic.
Thanks for your insights! CDN and S3 sound pretty advanced for me. Are you saying that's essential for performance?
