Infinity - A Social Media Platform for Developers

Built on the MERN stack - combining MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js - Infinity is dynamic, and secure platform for connecting and sharing with your network. Backend repo - Social Media App Backend Repository

Overview

How I built it:

1️⃣ Redux for State Management: I've used the Redux library to handle the application's state effectively. It keeps our app organized and responsive.

2️⃣ Nodemailer for OTPs: I've integrated Nodemailer into the app to send emails through Node.js. This ensures secure delivery of one-time passwords (OTPs).

3️⃣ Cloudinary Integration: We've connected our app with Cloudinary to generate links for the photos and videos you upload, making them easily accessible.

4️⃣ MongoDB as the Backbone: MongoDB serves as the backbone of our app, storing and organizing all the data, ensuring it's readily available when needed.

5️⃣ Bcrypt for Password Hashing: To enhance security, I've employed Bcrypt to hash and protect passwords, adding an extra layer of safeguard for user accounts.
