I have recently created a repository talking, tracking and experimenting about AI Agents and Agentic workflows.

I'm looking for a quick review of the write-up in README.

Here's the Github repository:

Thanks for your time;)

I created an anonymous blog posting React app

Where did the idea come from?

So I was looking for options to create a full stack project using technologies I've recently learnt, including React, SQL, MongoDB, Express and some algorithms implemented in order to create a fully scalable Anonymous blog posting app.

Let's start with the very beginning.

The first step was to setup the Node+React environment. This includes installing Node.js, and ReactJS starter dependencies on the machine locally.

Starting with the create-react-app base template, now comes the interesting part.

Creating the API endpoints

Create and navigate to the back-end directory and start with npm init.

Now, in order to setup the server routes, create different directories for their specific functions. I chose to create one for database configuration, Redux controllers, middlewares, models and routes for the required state management of the application.

I chose to expose two API endpoints to the server, one for userContext and blogContext each.

I also created a separate directory for creating and salting JSON-Web-tokens (JWTs) in order to authenticate the users.

Do the low-level programming and implement the back-end structure as per your needs.

Creating the front-end

When we start working on a front-end part we have a number of choices to make. What library to start with? What CSS frameworks would suit the best? What icons library and font?

After going through a number of alternatives I finally chose Bootstrap, as it offers flexibility in choosing the styling frameworks. And with Bootstrap, there are customizable libraries available which results in flexible switching among several themes throughout the web app.

Connecting the server and final steps

After setting up the front-end and back-end directories, connect the web app to the server and proxy the back-end ports through front-end, in order to make the API endpoints secure and publicly inaccessible.

Specify the environment variables in the .env file and slurp your coffee.

Your web app is ready to be hosted😇

Just created a fantastic looking temporary chat-room.

The story started last year when I was learning Javascript for web development.
I wasn't sure how its going but i was obviously trying things out. So, i worked with a lot of technologies and found the best out of them, to finally work on my dream project which is currently under development. But during the journey, i also tried and built different kinds of things for utility purposes. One of such application was Fortlax.io.

This web app, being a very basic implementation of web sockets, is one of the most errorless application i had ever built(the development is still active).

Checkout the app here: Fortlax.io
