MOUNTAINview - An imageboard with beautiful mountain images

Description

This imageboard project includes a website showing all images that have been uploaded to the server (database and AWS S3). The user can upload a new image by providing an image file and optional information like title, description, username and tags. Upon submitting a new image the image will be added to the page view without page reload. On inital page load the overview consists of 9 images retrieved from the server. A 'load-more' button is used to load the next 9 images and will disappear once the last image matching the query has been retrieved from the server. In case a new image has been uploaded since the last rendering process, an indicator shows up. A click on the indicator triggers a retrieval of the newly uploaded image from the server.

On click on an image a modal will open, showing all available information on the image including comments that have been made. Additional comments to the image can be made through the modal and are rendered automatically after submission. On the modal the user can navigate to the next or previous image through click on indicators. The individual indicators disappear in case there is no next/previous image.

In the image modal the user can click on an image tag (in case one has been provided). This triggers the closing of the modal and the rendering of the newest 6 images matching the same tag. A 'load-more' button shows up in case there are more matching images available. A dedicated 'remove-tag' button brings the use back to the initial image overview.

Links to individual images or tags can be shared as the particular data is stored in the location.hash thus shows up in the url.
