The application was built using Python with a postgreSQL database and React.JS Front-End. Backend structure is RESTful and all data requests are handled through SQLAlchemy and are fullfilled with FLask.
The front end is built using a React Libray, Redux Store and syled with regular CSS.
User authorization is handled in Python using werkzeug security for password hashing. These hashed passwords are saved to the database instead of the plain-text passwords. Upon login, the password that a user enters is rehashed and checked against the hashed password in the database to verify credentials.
The users homepage is filled with their friends posts, where they can leave an answer, edit an answer, or delete the post from their feed.
A user is able to check on the posts they've made, as well as create a new post from the Navigation bar.
