A simple Twitter clone built to demonstrate and practice the full-stack (Node.js, Skeleton, MongoDB)

Tweeder - Twitter clone

A basic twitter clone built to demonstrate the full stack (client, server, database)

With the same features of Twitter:

• Anyone can send a tweed
• Anyone else can see all the tweeds that have been sent

Deployment

Unfortunately, this project is not hosted yet. So, for deployment you'll need the following dependencies:

• Node.js and MongoDB
  • Access the server folder, and run npm start
    • This runs the app in the development mode.
    • Open http://localhost:5000 to view it in the browser.
  • You will also need to install live-server since node is not initialized for the client side.
  • Once live-server is installed, access the client folder, and run live-server

Client side

• uses Skeleton as CSS framework

Server side

• Uses Express package as framework to listen for requests that come from client.
• Uses Morgan package as middleware library which will log all incoming requests for debug purposes.
• Uses CORS package as middleware library which uses additional HTTP headers to tell browsers to give a web application running at one origin, access to selected resources from a different origin.
• Uses bad-words package for filtering out unnecessary and unclean tweeds.
• Uses Express Rate Limit middleware for Express to limit repeated requests to server.

Database

• Uses MongoDB as the main database program.
• Uses Monk as a library to connect to MongoDB.

TODO

• Deployment
• Add comments/replies to a tweed
• User accounts
  • instead of users just entering their name
• User @mentions
• Realtime feed of tweeds
