Editing posts is not yet available. Can not make or send posts. (Iqra's branch has an updated profile posting option) Can't make your own profile. Can't send messages in DM or click on them. ( Raina's branch has a working DM page where you can click through the messages, but there was no time to push onto the main page. The Working DM page can be viewed in Raina's branch) Some buttons in settings are causing application to crash.
Built the settings view and created the functionality of the app by using fragments. The settings page is important for allowing users to customize their experience and control app functionalities like account configurations.
Built the login page and put the UML together. The login page is important for user authentication, ensuring secure access to personal accounts and data within the app.
Built the DMs page and functionality. The Direct Messages (DMs) page is a core feature of any social app, enabling private communication between users. This functionality enhances user engagement and interaction.
Built the feed view of the app. The feed view is essential as it serves as the primary interface for users to view updates, posts, and content from other users.
Built the profile page and functionality. The profile page is key to user identity within the app, showcasing personal information, posts, and interaction history. It provides users with a sense of ownership and control over their presence within the app.
