For our next project, we will be developing a scalable microblogging platform similar to Twitter. This platform will allow users to share content with others, mention other users in their share, and view a timeline of their shares. Additionally, users will be able to register, manage, and change certain account details such as their e-mail address and password. Finally, our platform will enable users to share content with other external social networks such as Twitter.
By the end of this chapter, we'll have a social network that will allow us to share content and manage our accounts, as shown in the following screenshot:
Our users will also have the ability to directly reply to and share individual posts that they make, as shown in the following screenshot:
