Motivation 🖊

After spending about a month learning React, I wanted to build a Full Stack Project to showcase my skills. Since I personally use Reddit a lot, it was my first choice to try and clone. I only allowed Selftext Posts which is how it got the name Redext from Reddit + Text.

There are plenty of things that can be improved but I consider the project to be in a finished state as of now.

Running Locally 💡

$ git clone https://github.com/Vynex/Redext-Server

Contributions 👷

Redext is open to contributions, but I recommend creating an issue first.
