Welcome to InstaPin, my Image Sharing Platform project! This platform is designed to allow users to share and discover images, create pins, and link them to websites. Users can log in, upload images, provide short descriptions, and save pins from other users.
The project is built using the following technologies:
- React
- Node.js
- JavaScript
- MongoDB
- Express
- GraphQL
The image sharing platform offers the following features:
- User Authentication: Users can sign up and log in to the platform to access their accounts and perform actions.
- Pin Creation: Users can create pins by uploading images and optionally providing a short description.
- Linking to Websites: Users can link their pins to external websites to provide additional information.
- Pin Saving: Users can save pins created by other users to their profile for later reference.
