Blog Demo

My first full-stack webdev RESTFul project.

Main features:

• Users can publish Posts within various categories.
• Users can comment on Posts.
• Users have their own profiles and dashboard and they can edit their biography, avatar image, birth date, and username.
• Users can reset their password if forgotten (via a link with a random reset token generated from the backend and only valid for 30 minutes, and then sent to the user email).
• Posts can optionally have a "Location" field and if the user writes some real-world place (like "New York") then on the Post show page will appear a mini-map displaying the geolocated position.
• Other small features...
