Tweeter Project

Tweeter is a simple, single-page Twitter clone.

Project Description

Goal

• A simple single-page AJAX-based Twitter clone that uses jQuery, HTML5 and CSS3 (and Sass)

• The server is built with Node, Express and Mongo and allows users to request and submit tweets via a JSON end-point.

• User can submit new tweets and like posts.

Getting Started

• Install MongoDB locally and run mongod
• Install dependencies using the npm install command.
• Start the web server using the npm run local command. The app will be served at http://localhost:8080/.
• Go to http://localhost:8080/ in your browser.

Tech Stack

• Express
• Node.js
• SASS

Potential Improvements

• Currently, you can like a post again after page refresh.
  • This is expected because the app have not implemented the account management system, hence the inability to record click history by each users.
  • However, the basic functionality works and the total likes for each tweet is being recorded on MongoDB.
