Demo

Here it is a simple usage example on YouTube: Demo.

New Post

Users who are signed in can write a new text-based post by filling in text into a text area and then clicking a button to submit the post.

All Posts

The “All Posts” link in the navigation bar should take the user to a page where they can see all posts from all users, with the most recent posts first.

• Each post includes the username of the poster, the post content itself, the date and time at which the post was made, and the number of “likes” the post has.

Profile Page

Clicking on a username will load that user’s profile page.

• Displays the number of followers the user has, as well as the number of people that the user follows.
• Displays all of the posts for that user, in reverse chronological order.
• For any other user who is signed in, this page also displays a “Follow” or “Unfollow” button that will let the current user toggle whether or not they are following this user’s posts. Note that this only applies to any “other” user: a user is not able to follow themselves.

Following

The “Following” link in the navigation bar will take the user to a page where they see all posts made by users that the current user follows.

• This page is only available to users who are signed in.

Pagination

On any page that displays posts, posts will only be displayed 10 on a page. If there are more than ten posts, a “Next” button will appear to take the user to the next page of posts (which will be older than the current page of posts). If not on the first page, a “Previous” button will appear to take the user to the previous page of posts as well.

Edit Post

Users will be able to click an “Edit” button on any of their own posts to edit that post.

• When a user clicks “Edit” for one of their own posts a bootstrap modal will apear, the content of their post will be replaced with a textarea where the user can edit the content of their post.

“Like” and “Unlike”

Users will be able to click a button or link on any post to toggle whether or not they “like” that post.
