Literally all of the major social media platforms are more or less intro to compsci levels of things. I think when I was first learning rails one of the tutorials was how to build a twitter clone. Granted, this is simplifying and there is a lot to be said for scaling and the more esoteric things, but yeah it's barely about the platform/software.
