A CMS-style blog site where developers can publish their blog posts and comment on other developers' posts as well. This application follows the MVC paradigm in its architectural structure, using Handlebars.js as the templating language, Sequelize as the ORM, and Express.js as the web framework.
The Tech Blog is a platform for developers to write, publish, and interact with blog posts. Users can sign up, log in, create, update, and delete posts, as well as comment on others' posts. The application uses Sequelize to interact with a MySQL database and Handlebars.js to generate HTML templates dynamically.
