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!
Client: React, React Query, Tailwind CSS
Server: Node, Express, PostgreSQL
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!

- User profile will display selected user's posts
- Integrating social logins (google/github)
