Online gratitude network
My capstone project for CS50 web. This is an online gratitude journal network application. It uses Django for the backend and HTML, JavaScript, and bootstrap for the front end. Users can post daily private and public entries with the goal of posting three gratitude entries per day. Site is hosted on Heroku with a PostgreSQL database, profile pictures are stored on an Amazon S3 bucket.

All Posts: The “All Posts” link in the navigation bar takes the user to a page where they can see all public posts consolidated by day from all users, with the most recent posts first.
