Posters is a web application made for the Swansea University Web Application Development course, built using the Laravel 9.x framework. Posters is a fairly simple social media style web app, in the manner of one such as X (Twitter). Users can browse and make their own posts as well as accessing a number of other features expected from an app of this style.
Posters makes use of an SQLite database to store data (one-to-one, many-to-many, polymorphic, etc.) and is built using a number of traditional web develpoment languages including PHP, HTML and CSS. It also uses tools such as Livewire to provide dynamic page updating via AJAX and Laravel Service Container for convenient use of APIs. The bulk of the work was completed over the course of roughly one month and it achieved a 97% overall result.
