General Info

The purpose of the project is to recreate Facebook as closely as possible using modern technologies. The motivation behind the project was the gain of experience and improvement of skillset using the MERN stack.

Status

The project may be continued at a later date. Since the purpose of the project was practice using MERN, all of the original Facebook functionality may not be added.
