Daug

What's Daug?

Daug is a fully functioning Social Network mobile application for pet owners to post pictures of their pets and share it with community.

Functionality

• Users can sign up & log in into the app
• Users can create and upload pictures new post
• Users can like, dislike and comment on others post
• Users can follow each other

Demo - Try it on Expo

Used React Native AWS3 library to let the users upload a new profile picture. Additionally, I used React Native Elements library to build UI, React Navigation library to handle navigation, and packages such as react-native-modal and React-Native-Keyboard-Aware-Scroll-View to improve UI.

Designs and Inspiration

Intro, Login & Sign Up screens are based on Robinhood App.

Profile screen is based on Instagram.

Social Feed screen is based on Facebook and Instagram.
