Phase 2 Assessment - Twitter Clone (TweetTweet)

• For your assessment today we'll be building our own mini version of Twitter.
• I've posted the user stories below
• This may sound like a lot or it may sound confusing. Take your time to plan your application. We care more about the quality of your code than how large your code base is.
• Good luck and feel free to ask questions for clarity.

User Stories

• Users should be able to register for an account
• Users should be able to log in
  • Don't worry about sessions. Assume the user is not closing the window and opening it
  • Don't worry about password hashing
• After logging in Users should be able to see all the posts
• Users can make their own post that appear on a personal page
• Users can click a repost button on a post that is not theirs.

Planning

• PLAN OUT YOUR APPLICATION!!!
• Planning lowers the time it takes to develop an app.
• What will your endpoints be?
  • What endpoint will render an HTML file?
  • What endpoint will send back JSON data?
• How might your database look like?
  • We'll have at least two models, one for Users and one for posts
  • THINK about this idea of reposting. If a user clicks a repost how will that look in the database?
• What will your templates look like?

Luxury Goals

• Add User Sessions
• Add Password Hashing for User Login
• Make things look pretty - Honestly your app could look like crap, I just want it to work. If it works then feel free to make it look like better crap.
• Use Mustache.js for templating - Again, Mustache.js isn't needed but if you've tried it recently and you understand it, it can help with showing data dynamically
• Use hashtags to tag keywords - Really hard luxury goal
• Add a search bar that can search for those keywords

Deployment

Deploy the web application on a VPS from DigitalOcean running Ubuntu 16.04, with NGINX and firewalld.

Check with systemctl status firewalld and firewall-cmd —list-all.
