A social media application that allows users to interact with each other & discuss everything related to real estate.

Apt-Talk

Note: This is an updated version of apt-talk with a new UI.

AptTalk is a community-oriented application that primarily focuses on real estate. It provides a social media spin to traditional real estate websites, where users can interact and discuss with each other about everything related to real estate. Planning a community event? Need general advice on home decor? Want to see the forum's consensus about certain neighborhoods? AptTalk is an all in one solution!

Tech Stack

Demo

Here's a walkthrough of how the app functions:

• Upon entering application, the forum is shown where all user posts/bookmarks/comments can be seen. User then registers & logs in to their respective account. If successful login, user is authorized to: create a post, bookmark a post, and comment!
  

• User creates a post and can bookmark their & others posts. User can also comment on posts! Multer & cloudinary is used to store images in the web.
  

• Here's the stored images in cloudinary, in an upload folder!
  

• User can only delete their posts. Changes are saved, regardless if user is logged in or out!
