Short Demo with differentiators (FauxMeaux 2.0)

Long demo with full functionality (FauxMeaux 1.0)

Functionality:

FauxMeaux 2.0 is an app that is modeled on instagram but ads are different.

While ads on instagram will appear between every 2 or 3 posts, on FauxMeaux 2.0 ads appear on top of every third post. To uncover a post the user needs only tap the ad. This is a vast improvement over the standard ad model. Read why.

FauxMeaux has the following typical social media functionality;

• Login
• Signup
• Current User profile page
  • Add a profile avatar
  • Profile metrics: posts, followers, following.
  • liks to a list of followers and followings
  • a feed of all the posts the user has posted.
• Other user profile Page
  • profile metrics, links to followers and followees, feed of posts.
  • Follow button
  • indication if the user follows the current user.
• Feed
  • View the posts of user that you are following.
  • posts display all comments and can be commented on.
• Post something!
  • an image
    • currently only a link to an image can be added, however valid links will show you a preview of the image.
  • a caption
• General
  • Search for users
  • usernames that appear on comments and posts are clickable links.
  • overall visual inspiration is taken from instagram.

The feed will be very similar to your average social media feed; you will see posts with ads interspersed every second or third post.
The difference is that each ad will COVER A POST. similar to to v1.0, you just need to click on the ad to reveal the post.

- change fetch to await.
- refactor redux.

- unit tests on the frontend.

I wrote most of the code to convert to json in the models but it's kind of cluttered so I want to move to a separate place.

1. Users can react to posts
   a. users can react to comments
2. image upload capability
3. Users can respond to comments
4. google authentication
