🧠 How ThreadsDev Works
Developers create accounts and customize their profiles.
Users can create or join discussion rooms based on specific topics.
Each room supports threaded conversations for idea sharing.
Messages are linked to users and timestamps for clear discussion flow.
Only message owners can edit or delete their content.
