Tello: A Social Media App
Build with ❤️ and
Tello is a social media application inspired by Twitter, allowing users to sign up, share posts, interact with other users, and exchange messages.
**This repo contains the backend code, for the frontend part refer [here](https://github.com/detronetdip/tello-client).**
## Technologies Used
- **Frontend**:
- React
- Vite
- Apollo GraphQL
- TypeScript
- Recoil
- IndexedDB
- **Backend**:
- Node.js
- Express.js
- Redis
- RabbitMQ
- PostgreSQL
- GraphQL
- Socket.IO
- **Deployment**:
- Docker
## Features
- User authentication and signup using access and refress token with token versioning
- Post creation,Generation, browsing, and engagement (likes, comments)
- Direct messaging between users.
- Unique Message Storage: Messages are never stored in a database; instead, they are directly stored on the client-side. This approach ensures privacy as only the two clients engaged in a conversation can access the messages and once they close the app it will be vanished. This feature is made possible by leveraging Redis, RabbitMQ, Socket.IO, and IndexedDB.
## Getting Started
