Blog & Comment - a Node.Js blog-style web app deployed on Heroku. Users can login, create blog posts, and comment on other posts.

Blog & Create helps you create beautiful and secure blog content.

The example above was created with Bootstrap. Check it out at https://group-back-end-project.herokuapp.com/.

Features

• Clean, intuitive design — With Blog & Comment, all blog posts are displayed on a centered page with optimal use of whitespace for readability. Inspired by Medium's, Blog & Comment is responsive, so it looks great on tablets, phones, and even in print.

• Everything on a single page — Gone are the days when your users had to paginate through a million pages to find fresh content. Blog & Comment puts all content on a single page. We haven't sacrificed linkability, though. As you scroll, your browser's hash will update to the nearest header, so linking to a particular point in the documentation is still natural and easy.

• Secure Login — Lorem Ipsum

Getting started with Blog & Comment is super easy! Simply press the "Register" or "Login" button and follow the instructions.
