Welcome to the twitter-backend developer wiki!

This is an incubating project undertaken by @ohbus, inspired by @championswimmer's discussion from here

Application is intended to be developed parallelly to this discussion by Scaler

Summary

A twitter-like social media site where

• Anyone can post 240-character texts.
• People can reply, like, or reshare the posts.
• Users can follow each other.
• The home feed shows posts from users that they follow.
• Users will be notified when someone likes their posts, replies, or reshares them and when someone follows them.
• Users and posts can be searched.

Future Scope

• Shifting to a microservices-based architecture
• OAuth2 based login and connection
• Email notifications service
• Report posts
• User's can send personal messages to each other
• Allow accounts to be private (only visible to followers)
• Turn on notifications for a particular user
• Bookmarking posts
• Topics
• Filtering keywords on hateful and abusive texts, eventually leading to permanent blocking
• Trending Section with certain hashtags and topics based on tweets
• ( Feel free to add your own wishlist, the Wikis are publicly editable )

Please note that these scopes are mainly meant to be a part of the user's perspective.

We will be defining similar development scopes as you know of JIRA epics which will be collated issues.
