This project is a full-stack blog platform designed to mimic a real-world content management system. Developed using Flask, SQLAlchemy, Bootstrap, and deployed on Render, it offers user authentication, CRUD functionality, and a responsive layout. I built the entire project independently as part of a personal challenge to consolidate my full-stack development skills.
The platform allows:
User registration and login with session handling
Creating, editing, and deleting blog posts
Comment sections for each post
Secure backend validation and error handling
Responsive interface across devices
Core Stack:
Flask, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL
Bootstrap, Jinja templating
Render for deployment
Git for version control
