About the web app (Refer to the image below for more details)

This app is developed using a MERN stack and it contains all the features that a social media platform has, like authentication, profile creation, updation, creating a post, and reacting on post etc.

The frameworks and libraries used for building the DevelopersWeb are

• ReactJS - for client-side rendering.

• Redux - for global state management using flux architecture.

• Bootstrap - for UI design.

• Axios - for HTTP request and response.

• Bcrypt - for creating a hashed password and making the app secure.

• ExpressJS, NodeJS - for creating the web application and letting the user communicate.

• JSON web token - every user of our API or website will be assigned a unique token, and this allows you to store the user state. And once the token expires the user will be automatically prompted to login.

• MongoDB - for Data Base
