Description

This is an application that allows users to post, like, and search throught users articles. The users can then later even access these liked articles through the liked articles page, in the my profile section. Users can also subscribe to other users and have their articles pop up in the subscribed section page. All articles are allowed to have their own image, and multiply paragraphs. The user can choose to search for articles and users, filter throught liked articles, or even their own articles.

Goals of the Project

  1. - Learning how to correctly write unit test
  2. - learn how to send images between the client and server side
  3. - Learning how figma works by wireframing the project.

Challenges

Test driven development was an issue, I wrote all my test but ended up rewriting them since I wanted to do things like change my data for better synchronization with my database schema. I would say I failed planning out how my data was gonna work with my frontend. I also had many issues sizing the image, but later I was able to format them better. There were also many challenges with the deployment on the backend, I had trouble getting the aws lambda server to send images to the frontend, the data kept getting corrupted and that is something I still can't figure out the errors for!

Accomplishments

  1. - Writing basic unit test
  2. - How to better optimize database queries and Fetches, allowing for less data used!
  3. - Learned the basics of wireframing with figma, allowing me to make better designs and speed up development!
  4. - Due to errors made in structure in frontend architecture, I learned what not to try again next time when structuring the pages and components!
