Tweeter is a simple, single-page Twitter clone.

This is a project I built as part of the web development bootcamp at Lighthouse Labs. I was able to practice HTML, CSS, JS, jQuery and AJAX front-end skills, and Node, Express and MongoDB back-end skills.

Some of the functionality the page has:

• Tweets are loaded from Mongo database
• The compose form can slide in or out of view by clicking the compose button
• Character counter updates live based on text input
• Error messages are given if a tweet is empty or over the character limit
• New tweets are submitted (with a random username and avatar) and saved to the Mongo database, then rendered immediately on the page without refresh

1. Fork this repository, then clone your fork of this repository.
2. Install dependencies using the npm install command.
3. Start the web server using the npm run local command. The app will be served at http://localhost:8080/.
4. Go to http://localhost:8080/ in your browser.
