Writer's Avenue is an open-source blog publishing website with its frontend written in React & Sass, Node.js (Express) for backend and MariaDB for database.
As of now, the following things are implemented:
- user can register/login with their email or Google account (OAuth 2.0)
- if a user doesn't upload an avatar while registering, a default avatar will be set
- users can create, read, update & delete posts
- view profile of other users 👀
- users can post comments on posts
- can save drafts instead of directly publishing the posts
- user can edit a published post & save those changes as a draft on the server without affecting the published post 😌
Note: these steps are tested on Linux (Pop OS) with Node v16.16.0 & MariaDB server v10.6.11.
-
make sure Node, NPM, Yarn & MariaDB are installed.
-
there are 3 dotenvs:
- dummy.env
- server/dummy.env
- client/dummy.env
read them, populate them with proper values & rename those files from dummy.env to just .env.
-
install dependencies by executing
yarnin project's root directory & also in client & server directores. -
execute this in project's root directory:
yarn setup -
execute this in server directory:
yarn dev -
execute this in client directory:

play around with this project & say good things to reward me with some dopamine 😌
