myTwitter

This is a private local Twitter clone I built for my own use. I use it as my personal digital journal.

Getting Started

Dependencies

• React JS
• Node JS
• Mongo DB (Mongoose)

Setup

• Back-end server: Github repository
• A user has to be set up manually from the back end when used for the first time
• Note: This site essentially does not support local file upload, since it is a security risk from the browser's perspective to allow the front-end to have direct access to local file system paths (e.g. C:\Documents\sample.jpg), so I acutally set up another local file server to get around the issue when I personally use it (e.g. localhost:5000/files/sample.jpg).
