🏗 Work in progress. We are currently experiencing some troubles with deployed websockets.
Table of Contents
This project was made for an assignment from Epitech. The idea was to recreate the most common and basic features of Twitter.
Even if the database migration was generated via the laravel artisan helper, the all promo had to follow the same database structure. You can have a look at the common db here.
- Secured register and login
- Real-time
- timeline
- messaging service
- notifications
- Update profile
- Follow people/be followed back
- Character limited tweet
- Attach photographs to tweets
- Tweet, like, retweet, retweet with quote
- Mentions and hashtags
- Search bar for user/hashtags
