Blog web app

This project is a Node.js-based blog platform designed to demonstrate a solid understanding of web development and authentication functionalities. The primary goal was to implement a secure, user-friendly interface where users can explore, create, and interact with blog posts.

Features:
User Authentication: The application includes a robust authentication system, ensuring that only registered users can create new blog posts. If an unauthenticated user attempts to create a post, they are redirected to the signup page.

Blog Post Creation: Authenticated users can create new blog posts directly from the interface. The application supports adding tags, feature images, and other metadata to enhance the post's presentation.

Responsive Design: The platform is fully responsive, offering a seamless experience across devices, including desktops and mobile devices.

Purpose:
The primary purpose of this project was to demonstrate proficiency in Node.js application development with a focus on integrating user authentication. The application ensures that user interactions are secure and that content creation is restricted to authenticated users, highlighting the importance of secure and user-specific functionality in modern web applications.

NOTE: I currently do not have a demo video for the app.
