Hello DEV community! 👋
I've recently attempted to make a clone of Twitter using VueJS as its frontend and Golang as its backend server.
You can check the github repository here for the source code:

twitter-clone
🕊 Twitter Clone developed using Go + Vue 3 + Vite + TailwindCSS + PostgreSQL + Redis
Twitter Clone
A Twitter clone created with Golang, PostgreSQL, Redis, VueJS and Vite with support for dark mode and light mode using TailwindCSS
Status: Some features are yet to be implemented

i would also love to learn to put pieces together to come up with an app. I have been reading beginner tutorials for python and javascript with no real life examples. I want to develop a ride sharing app that aggregates produce for smallholder farmers in uganda for delivery to markets. email: baguma.andrew@yahoo.com
You did tremendous amount of work. What's the goal of this project, is it purely educational?
Yes, you are correct.
This project is solely for educational purposes and also to give me the challenge to try and make something big (I also have a lot of time on my hands atm 😂). Thank you for asking 😊
nice, the scope of the project is definitely big 😃 Obviously it's my personal opinion, if I were you I would join some open source project (maybe you already did) and used your broad skill set there. Otherwise it feels like a waste of your brain power.
Haha, I'm somewhat still relatively new in the open-source world. I did dabble in on doing some small contributions though while most of them are just simple documentation updates 😂. Thank you for the valuable input tho, I might try and join an open-source project in the future when I think I'm ready 🙌
I guess there's some sort of coding school teaching people how to make clones…
The most important part of Twitter isn't the website - many users never use it.
It's the API and the mobile apps, and your implementation doesn't have them.
Moreover, your implementation likely can't handle millions of tweets posted every hour - it takes a distributed system to get to that scale.
Keep innovating and you can build a better system than today's Twitter.
Yes, I completely agree with you. I am aware of the sheer size of Twitter and how they can handle an immense amount of users and millions of tweets. This implementation does not compare to how Twitter implements its systems and because it is only experimental and for educational purposes only.
I haven't really gotten deep into scalable applications or fault-tolerant distributed systems but
this project and I have still a lot of room for improvements and ways to go.
Thank you for the valuable insight!
Nice work, Vue is great.
Thank you! 🙌 Vue is definitely great 😁

Gear job ! The code looks clean.
I will most definitely check it in depth if I ever have to work with Vue !
Thanks 😁
Holly Molly!
