Finstagram is a photo sharing app similar to Instagram, but made from scratch with a full backend and frontend. V1 was an implementation of the backend and a basic frontend to set up the site. V2 brings in a fully working backend and frontend, with options to post pictures, videos, comments, and profile viewing! V3 is currently in the works and will add: better, fluid UI/UX similar to Instagram, reduced latency timings for accessing the app by hosting on Heroku, and a "Explore" feature!
Time spent: 20 hours spent in total
The following required functionality is completed:
- User can sign up to create a new account using Parse authentication.
- User can log in and log out of his or her account.
- The current signed in user is persisted across app restarts.
- User can take a photo, add a caption, and post it to "Instagram".
The following optional features are implemented:
- User sees app icon in home screen and styled bottom navigation view
- Style the feed to look like the real Instagram feed.
- After the user submits a new post, show an indeterminate progress bar while the post is being uploaded to Parse.
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:
