💬 Small Social Media

A modern social platform backend - Think Twitter/X, but built with Go!

🚀 Overview

Comment API is a REST API service built with Go and Vue that powers a social media platform similar to Twitter/X. Users can register, create posts with file attachments, engage with content through comments, and administrators can moderate the entire ecosystem.

✨ Key Features

• 🔐 Secure Authentication - JWT-based auth with bcrypt password hashing
• 📝 Social Posting - Create, edit, and delete posts with file attachments
• 💬 Interactive Comments - Full CRUD operations on comments with nested discussions
• 👥 Role-Based Access - User and Admin roles with different permissions
• 📎 File Management - Upload and manage attachments (images, PDFs, documents)
• 📊 Admin Dashboard - Comprehensive moderation tools and analytics
• 🔍 Advanced Filtering - Search and filter by user, date, and content
• 📄 Pagination - Efficient data loading with page-based navigation
