🚀 Social Network Project

Welcome to the Social Network monorepo! This project is a modern, full-stack social media application designed with scalability, performance, and best practices in mind, including adherence to SOLID principles.

It consists of two main parts: a high-performance Frontend and a robust Backend.

🏗️ Project Structure

• Frontend (Mobile-First Web App)

  • Built with Next.js 16, React 19 and Tailwind CSS.
  • Features optimistic UI updates using TanStack Query.
  • Includes a comprehensive design system with Radix UI primitives.
  • Includes a comprehensive testing system with Jest.

• Backend (RESTful API)

  • Built with Node.js, Express, and TypeScript.
  • Utilizes MongoDB with Mongoose for data modeling.
  • Implements secure JWT Authentication and Google OAuth.
  • Includes a comprehensive logging system with Winston.
  • Includes a comprehensive testing system with Jest and Supertest.

🎯 Key Design Principles

Both applications are architected following SOLID principles to ensure:

• Maintainability: Code that is easy to read, understand, and update.
• Scalability: An architecture that grows with the feature set without accumulating technical debt.
• Robustness: Strong typing with TypeScript across the entire stack.

🚀 Quick Start

To get up and running, you will need to set up both the frontend and backend.

1. Backend Setup: Go to the backend/ directory and follow the setup instructions to get the API running on port 4000.
2. Frontend Setup: Go to the frontend/ directory and follow the instructions to start the development server on port 3000.
