A clone of the popular website, Reddit. Users can create posts, comment on posts, and upvote/downvote posts and comments.
As a part of BCIT's Web Development course, this project was built to practice using Express.js, Node.js, and EJS.
Building this web app, the data are all stored in-memory. I chose to use Bootstrap as my CSS library. I also implemented
the nested-comments feature of this app similar to how Reddit handles it, which gave me insight on how to structure the
HTML and CSS to make it work.
The hardest challenge was to implement the nested-comments feature. The trick was to pass a JavaScript function to the EJS template that would fetch the child comments of a parent comment.
Although the solution for nested-comments is not practical in a production setting, it was a good learning experience as
to how to structure the HTML and CSS to replicate the same UI as Reddit's nested-comments.
I learned more about Experss.js, Node.js, and EJS since this was mainly a practice project for those three technologies.
Also, learned a lot about in-memory objects and array in a JavaScript environment.
