This PHP project provides a user authentication and registration system with a dashboard for users to manage and create posts. It uses a MySQL database to store user information and posts.
The UI is styled with TailwindCSS using the Tailwind cli. The bash script tw.sh calls the tailwind executible and converts the classes in the markup into CSS in the style.css.

This project was meant to refamiliarize myself with PHP, MySQL, and their development paradigm. However, I see myself adding just a few more features to make it feel a bit more complete. These features include:
- Passwords are not stored in the db but instead are put through a hashing algorithm
- Users can delete their own posts
- Users can comment on posts
- Posts are saved into the db with a date in which they were inserted
- Users can 'like' posts
- Users can search and filter posts
