NHViet03/Mobile-App_Social_Network

Building a Full Stack Social Network Mobile App with React Native using Redux, MongoDB, Expo Router, NodeJS, and TailwindCSS.

Mobile Social Networking Application with React Native

Project Introduction

We have built a mobile social networking application inspired by the Instagram platform. The app offers all the essential features of a social network, including posting, liking, sharing, commenting, and reporting posts. Additionally, users can follow others, send messages, display their activity status, and receive real-time notifications. Regarding the post reporting feature, we share the Admin Website with the Web_Social_Network_with_Link_Prediction project.

• This project is used to serve as a final term project for the course in the Information Systems department at UIT: Mobile Application Development - NT118 (9.5/10)
