Planning

• PLAN OUT YOUR APPLICATION!
• Planning lowers the time it takes to develop an app.
• What will your endpoints be?
  • What endpoint will render an HTML file?
  • What endpoint will send back JSON data?
• How might your database look like?
  • We'll have at least two models, one for users and one for posts.
  • THINK about this idea of reposting. If a user clicks a repost how will that look in the database?
• What will your templates look like?

Luxury Goals

• Use Mustache.js for templating - Again, Mustache.js isn't needed but if you've tried it recently and you understand it, it can help with showing data dynamically.
• Use hashtags to tag keywords.
• Add a search bar that can search for those keywords.

Deployment

• Deploy the web application on a VPS from DigitalOcean running Ubuntu 16.04, with NGINX and firewalld.
• Check with systemctl status firewalld and firewall-cmd —list-all.
