Time spent: 12 hours spent in total
The following required functionality is completed:
- [✅] A create form that allows the user to create posts
- [✅] Posts have a title and optionally additional textual content and/or an image added as an external image URL
- [✅] A home feed displaying previously created posts
- [✅] By default, the time created, title, and number of upvotes for each post is shown on the feed
- [✅] Clicking on a post shall direct the user to a new page for the selected post
- [✅] Users can sort posts by either their created time or upvotes count
- [✅] Users can search for posts by title
- [✅] A separate post page for each created post, where any additional information is shown is linked whenever a user clicks a post
- [✅] Users can leave comments underneath a post on the post's separate page
- [✅] Each post should have an upvote button on the post's page. Each click increases its upvotes count by one and users can upvote any number of times
- [✅] A previously created post can be edited or deleted from its post page
The following optional features are implemented:
- Users can only edit and deleted posts or delete comments by entering the secret key, which is set by the user during post creation
- Upon launching the web app, the user is assigned a random user ID. It will be associated with all posts and comments that they make and displayed on them.
- Users can repost a previous post by referencing its post ID. On the post page of the new post, the referenced post is displayed and linked, creating a thread
- Users can customize the interface of the web app
- Users can share and view web videos
- Users can set flags while creating a post. Then users can filter posts by flags on the home feed.
- Users can upload images directly from their local machine as an image file
- Display a loading animation whenever data is being fetched
The following additional features are implemented:
- List anything else that you added to improve the site's functionality!
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:
Here is the home page of the website which shows that it searches based on title, sorts based on upvotes and time created, and shows the posts with the title, time created, upvotes count, images, and content:
This is an example of Creating a Posts:
This is an example of Showing the Post when clicked, upvoting, commenting and deleting:
Lastly, this is an example of its responsiveness:

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app. Often the issues that I would struggle with is getting the functionality to work as intended. That would often involve debugging and testing the code to see if it works. This caused time to be wasted that I think next time wouldn't happened as much streamlining the process. Though I did not have time to implement the optional features, I think that I would have been able to implement them if I had more time. I think working with CSS is something I should work on as well as I think that I could have made the website look better.
