Warbler

Warbler is a Twitter clone and utilizes Flask, PostgreSQL, and SQLAlchemy, on the back-end and Jinja templating, jQuery, and Axios on the front-end. I built this application off of a semi-functioning clone.

Key components I worked on include:

• fixing bugs in the user profile, logout, and homepage routes
• adding profile editing functionality
• adding the ability to like a Warble
• extensive testing, including model and view unit tests

You can view a deployed version here.
