Problem
Social-media interfaces combine authentication, feeds, profile state, and repeated UI patterns. Rebuilding a small version is a practical way to understand how those pieces fit together.
What I Built
This project is a basic social-media application using React, Material UI, and Firebase. It explores sign-in flows, feed-style layouts, and simple user interactions.
Technical Decisions
Firebase handled the backend and authentication layer so the project could focus on front-end state, component structure, and user-facing flows.
Outcome
The project helped me practice full-stack product mechanics at a small scale: auth, persisted user data, and interface composition.
