🤔 Why I Built This
As a backend developer, I’ve always wanted to build a real fullstack web app, not just an API or admin panel. I challenged myself with something visually rich and interactive — a Pinterest-style app, but built completely from scratch.
This project helped me learn:
how to integrate frontend and backend smoothly
how to handle real-time features like WebSockets and notifications
how to create a better user experience with modern UI/UX
🔧 Stack I Used
💚 Frontend: Vue 3, Pinia, Tailwind CSS, Axios, Vue Router
🐍 Backend: FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, Celery, WebSockets, JWT Auth
🔄 Other tools: Gitlab CI/CD, Nginx, VPS, SSL
🚀 Core Features
👤 Auth: register, login, Google, email verify, password reset
📌 Pins: create, like, save, search, view related content
🗂 Boards: create/delete, add/remove pins
💬 Comments & replies with media
❤️ Likes for pins & comments
🔔 Real-time notifications & updates
📨 Realtime chats with message history
🔎 Smart recommendations & search history
🔧 Admin tools for moderation
✨ What I Learned
This wasn’t just about coding — it was about problem-solving, learning to debug across frontend and backend, optimizing queries, and building a user-friendly interface.
I made mistakes, refactored many parts, and constantly pushed myself out of my comfort zone.
