LifeLog

Description of this project

The LifeLog blog project was my capstone project, which I completed entirely on my own, from scratch through to design and implementation.
Since it is a blog project, I had to pay extra attention to the UI, and I also had to use a text editor I had never worked with before.

Additionally, I found it quite challenging to implement login functionality using JSON Web Tokens, which I had only briefly studied before. However, I was able to find various resources on Google about commonly implemented login features, and I studied and integrated that information into my project.

The most challenging part was the image upload feature. Since the text editor already had an image upload feature, I initially tried to use it. However, when importing image files locally, the file string that was inserted into the editor became excessively long. I realized that if I proceeded with this approach, users would experience significant delays every time they wrote a post.

In this situation, I remembered the image upload solution I had explored during the development of BrainFlix, and after extensive research, I gained confidence that I could implement this easily using AWS S3.

Aside from that, I spent time troubleshooting many errors and routing details, and before I knew it, 12 days had passed, and I was able to wrap up the project quickly. Throughout this project, I encountered and integrated many new technologies that I had never tried before, making LifeLog a project with great personal significance for me.
