Dora - Full Stack Expo Application

Description

Dora is a full stack application built using Expo, TailwindCSS, Expo Image Picker, Node.js, JWT authentication, MongoDB, Express.js, body-parser, cors, bcrypt, and Firebase. The application allows users to sign up and sign in using JWT authentication. Once signed in, users can access the home page where they can view top posts from different users, as well as a trending video section with animation. Users can bookmark posts and access them on the bookmark page. They can also create posts using Expo Image Picker, which utilizes Firebase for image and video hosting.

Features

Protected Routes: Users cannot access the homepage without signing in.

Bookmarking: Users can bookmark posts and access them on the bookmark page.
