A new fork: Dogegram

Hi there,
I am Hrichik, a 13y.o. dev.

I have made a fork of this project into a full-blown production app like Instagram with a lot more features!

I would love it if you could check that out. And yes, it's open-source at https://dogeis.me/github

(Adding Payments/Tips now, with stripe connect)

You can open https://use.dogeis.me/hrichik for the landing page!

Some of the features:

• Using AWS S3
• Added customization fields
• 2FA
• Verification
• Creator Connect Badge
• Ad wallet
• Whispers (like DMs but one time, one way, and no logs)
• Payments (coming soon, stay tuned)

See ya there,
Hrichik!

I am getting an “Invalid Host header” message, when running instaclone app on www.niuozbi.com

Installation problem
There is “Invalid Host Header” error?
the problem may be related to some firewall settings for your server?

I checked the firewall. It's not its problem.

However what I've gathered from stackoverflow, it seems that the problem may be related to webpack-dev-server adds a host check. （refer link）.

How did you configure the sample website to remove port 3000？

Isn't it an overkill to create both followers and followings schema?.

Can't we just keep track of followers and followings from a single schema?.

For example, combining both of them into Follow.js like shown below.

// Follow.js
const FollowSchema = new Schema({
  follower: {
    type: Schema.ObjectId,
    ref: 'User'
  },
  following: {
    user: {
      type: Schema.ObjectId,
      ref: 'User'
    }
 },
});

I am noob btw when it comes to DB design, especially with NoSQL.

I have navigated some clones and noticed that some of them do not exactly match the original website and as named clones mean copying the original website and pasting it.
