This is a fullstack project built with react. Soshare is a mini social platform for sharing videos and posts within a vibrant community. The main aim of building the project is to understand how video rendering and twitter commenting works. Currently this project uses http progressive streaming and a chronological commenting.

  • Frontend state management is handled with redux.
  • Material ui handles theming, user interface and responsiveness.
  • Axios handles data fetching.
  • Authentication is based on JWT and stored in cookies.
  • cookie-parser handles cookie authentication and storage is controlled by the server.
  • Socket.io handles real time communication.
  • Progressive streaming and storage is achieved through firebase.
  • Mailing and server templating is handled with EJS.
