Time spent: 18 hours spent in total

The following required functionality is completed:

• A create form that allows the user to create posts
• Posts have a title and optionally additional textual content and/or an image added as an external image URL
• A home feed displaying previously created posts
• By default, the time created, title, and number of upvotes for each post is shown on the feed
• Clicking on a post shall direct the user to a new page for the selected post
• Users can sort posts by either their created time or upvotes count
• Users can search for posts by title
• A separate post page for each created post, where any additional information is shown is linked whenever a user clicks a post
• Users can leave comments underneath a post on the post's separate page
• Each post should have an upvote button on the post's page. Each click increases its upvotes count by one and users can upvote any number of times
• A previously created post can be edited or deleted from its post page

The following optional features are implemented:

• Users can only edit and deleted posts or delete comments by entering the secret key, which is set by the user during post creation (Users can only edit and delete their own posts verified through user_id sent when an account is created)
• Upon launching the web app, the user is assigned a random user ID. It will be associated with all posts and comments that they make and displayed on them. (Users are able to sign up for an account set up through Clerk)

The following additional features are implemented:

• Users are able to login using clerk to create an account
• The username of the current user is shown on each post
• Users not logged in may still view posts but they are not able to create or like posts

Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:

The biggest challenge was figuring out authentication with clerk.
