Origin of the project

This project is the second project that I made with Symfony

I decided to make a website to work my skill about database relations, and API requests. I decided to do a "clone" of the Quora website. Quora is a forum website where users can ask a question about a subject, and answer to another user's question. There is also a comment section feature, subscription system, and spaces section. I have implemented all theses features on my project.

In this project, I paid attention to respect Symfony coding standard and symfony syntax, and also documentations on my controllers methods. I tried to respect KISS too.
