- Had difficulty in the beginning with linking our api to our client website.
- There was a bug where adding and removing a reaction would update the counter on the webpage, but the api would not register removing the reaction. This was eventually fixed and we had it working as we originally planned.
- Posting comments would only update on client site but would not update into the API. This was fixed and working as intended.
- A sort feature so people can sort through facts by most liked fact or most disliked fact.
- Gif functionality when creating a post so gifs can appear in a post.
- A searchbar were specific facts can be found by the input e.g Searching for 'fish' gathers all facts with 'fish' in the title
