Bromies

A full-stack twitter clone built using React on the front-end, Node.js with Express on the back-end, and MongoDB as the database. The app is currently up and running as of May 15, 2020, and was deployed using heroku.

Features include:

• Writing and posting brotes (tweets!) instantly
• Live database updating/fast page rendering on submission
• Live database statistics
• Liking and unliking a brote
• Infinite scrolling

A view of the MongoDB cluster I use to store my data:

I created this application to educate myself on web development, as I have never done anything like this before. I taught myself how to create responsive pages on the client side using React, and how to read and write APIs on my server through Node.js. I also wanted to learn how to perform CRUD operations with an online database, and how to use this to serve my application. I finally managed to deploy my app online, and learned how to read website logs and how to maintain my MongoDB cluster.

Technologies used:

• React
  
• Node.js
  
• Express.js
  
• Mongoose
  
• MongoDB Atlas
  
• Heroku Deploy
