# Social Media Meetex REST API 



I wanted to showcase my growth as a developer, so I decided to take on a familiar topic from my past but elevate it to a higher coding standard. For reference, see my previous work on this topic at [Meetex Desktop App](https://github.com/cyboranf/meetex-desktop-app). 

In this advanced version of 'Meetex', I've integrated numerous features and concepts I've gleaned from my books and tutorials. 'Meetex' stands as a testament to my continuous learning and the versatility of modern backend technologies.



## Features

- **User Authentication**: Uses Spring Security integrated with JWT.

- **Profile Management**: Users can create, update, and personalize their profiles with a profile picture, bio, and more.

- **Chat System**: Directly chat with other users

- **Posts**: Users can create, edit, and delete posts. They can also attach images, videos, and links to their posts.

- **Comments**: Engage in posts by commenting. Edit and delete comments seamlessly.

- **Reactions**: React to posts and comments with a variety of emojis to express feelings.

- **Notifications**: Real-time notifications for likes, comments, new followers, and chat messages.

## Inspiration

The main spark for this project came from an earlier application I developed. When I looked back at my previous **'Meetex'** desktop app, I felt a push to revisit the concept and take it to the next level. At the same time, I observed the features and designs of some popular social media apps out there. This made me realize that creating a social media platform is a great way to display a wide range of skills.
