A web application which features simultaneously post content to multiple social media sites. It gives you analytic and social media monitoring tools. It supports social network integration for Twitter, Facebook and Reddit.

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Runs the app in the development mode. Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser. The page will reload if you make edits.

You have to get the lastest version(or above v12.16.2) of NodeJs, and you also need to have Docker and Docker-compose installed.

To run it on your machine, you have to open two terminals and type as follows:

$ cd DockerIntegration
$ docker-compose down && docker-compose build && docker-compose up -d && docker attach docker-node-mongo

$ cd ClientSide/client/
$ npm install
$ npm start

PostIt app comes along to fulfil the needs of organizations, from non-profits and small businesses to big companies, for social media monitoring, customer care and taking shortcuts when it comes to post on all of your social channels.

In PostIt1.0v the platform allows you to post text content on multiple social channels at your choice using only one account. In the future versions, we plan to add BI Service and ML Insights and the possibility to post images.

Design

1. Simplicity

  Isometric design — the latest design trend - was our first choice when it came to make a visual interpretation of our vision because it has a more realistic look while still using flat layers. Another reasons for using this technique was the fact that many people have short attention spans and making a difficult to navigate app will make them lose interest fast. Clear, uncluttered screens with obvious leads to the next step in the app process and an eye-catching design encourage our users to continue to use it.

2. Speed

  Fast loading screens are vital. No one likes waiting particularly when all they have to look at is a screen-loading symbol which soon gives way to boredom resulting in a decision to seek something better. Speed means an appropriate set of graphics and not fetching large tables and data bases. We keep it simple and keep it quick.

3. Good image resolution

  We balanced app speed against functionality and resolution, we also ensured that what is on screen is sufficiently detailed to make the user experience worthwhile.

4. Security and compliance with GDPR STANDARDS

  Internet security is becoming an ever-increasing issue and the same applies for every application. With many applications storing personal and sensitive information or credit and debit card details, security is an absolute must. What differentiates PostIt App from all other applications is the fact that our software does not store or processes personal data of users, and is fully compliant with the well-defined requirements.

5. Responsive Mobile App Design for Varying Screen Sizes

6. API Suport for the most popular Social Media Platforms

  Social media usage is a significant aspect of most of our lives. In fact, it is estimated that more than 2.5 billion users around the world rely on the various popular social media networking platforms to facilitate their interaction and connectivity with family, friends or other people, as well hundreds of businesses use social media to stay in touch with their clients.

For deployment on the live system we used the cloud computing service Microsoft Azure. You can access PostIt on this link.

1. Reducing risk of breaking the live website

  One of the main reason for using multiple environments and relying on deployment was to reduce the risk of changes having a negative impact on the website. While minor changes were easily done directly on the live website, bigger changes had to be done on separate environments without the risk of breaking anything on the live environment. When having multiple contributors working on the same project at the same time, it ensures that no one risks breaking something due to another developer's updates.

2. Testing new features

 Testing new features is crucial in the development stage to ensure that no bugs make it into the final productiion environment. Once we tested all the new features on the local or development environment, we deployed the changes to the new environment in line. Once the QA testing were done and everything was working in an environment resembling the live one we deployed on the live server. If bugs were discovered along the QA testing, a bug report was forwarded. Any changes that did not pass the testing phase were sent back to the local or development environment and once they were fixed they continued to work their way up through the environments plan.

3. Saving time

  When working in a local environment it also has the advantage of changes being processed faster and not be reliant on any connectivity issues.

• Adobe Illustrator - The vector graphics editor developed used for the creation of Isometric design.
• ReactJs - The open-source JavaScript library used for building the user interface.
• React Bootstrap - The front-end framework used for building the user interface.
• Material UI - One of the most popular React UI component used for frontend development.
• Docker CLI - The plugins used for building, testing, and sharing the containerized application. Docker was used for loading a full OS on top of our host system and having certain essential resources emulated.
• MongoDB - A NoSQL database used for transactionals store. It is great to used when the performance is a concern and the data structure evolves over time.
