Some screenshots of the different functionality of the site:
The landing page prompts users to sign up or sign in
Doing so will take you to the timeline, which lists posts in reverse chronological order
You can click 'New Post' in the navbar to make new posts
Once you've made a post, you can edit or delete it for up to 10 minutes
If you click on a user's name, it will take you to that persons profile, which will display their profile picture and their photos
If you click on your own name, it will take you to your profile
The 'Your Photos' navbar option takes you to a list of your photos. Here you can also edit, delete, and choose to make one of your photos your profile picture
You can sign out at any time by clicking the 'Sign Out' button in the navbar
On a revisit of the project, we would like to add functionality to comment on and like/unlike people's posts.
