Lynk

Lynk is a full-stack (React, Node, MongoDB) reddit-like news aggregation website, in which users can post links and vote on others.

Live website (hosted on heroku)

Technical details:

Server

  • The server is built with Node, Express, and MongoDB.
  • It provides a RESTful API, allowing users to get a list of links, vote on them, or post new ones.
  • Authentication: When a user registers, its password is encryped before being stored in the database. When logging in, a token is generated for the user using JWT and sent to the client. The cilent can then include the token in its future requests to verify its identity.
