For coursework during the second year of my degree (2015/16) I got tasked to create a social networking web application using no frameworks or libraries.

I decided to base my site around Life Goals where users can upload their goals they want to complete for others to view and comment on.

The front-end of the site was developed using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, and the backend REST API using PHP5 and MySQL.

Capabilities

• Sign up, log in & sign out

• Post, edit & delete a goal

• Show a goal as complete or not complete

• Like or unlike a goal

• Comment, edit & delete a comment on a goal

• Search for goal/s

• Make profile private or not private (doesn't do much except change icon & on the database)

• Upload a profile picture by drag and drop of file/s (only works on Google Chrome)

• Delete profile picture

• Follow or unfollow a user

• View goals of users you are following

• View profile of users
