Description

Danterest is a full-stack clone of Pinterest, designed and developed as a portfolio project that I created after graduating App Academy to showcase my proficiency in full-stack development. The project replicates the core functionalities of Pinterest, allowing users to create an account, pin images, create boards, and follow other users. It has been meticulously crafted using the latest technologies, incorporating both front-end and back-end development to create a seamless user experience.
