Description
Describe the feature you'd like to request
Feature Request:
I would like to request a feature that allows users to react to blog posts with likes or reactions (e.g., thumbs up, heart, etc.). This feature would enable users to show appreciation for the content, enhancing interaction and engagement on the platform.
Describe the solution you'd like
Proposed Solution:
To allow users to like or react to blog posts, we can enhance the existing system with the following changes:
-
Database Update:
- Add a new field to the MongoDB schema to store the count of likes or reactions for each post.
-
Frontend Update:
- Add a like or reaction button on each blog post page, along with a visible counter to show how many likes or reactions the post has received.
-
Backend Update:
- Implement an Express route that handles the like/reaction requests and updates the corresponding blog post in the database.
-
Benefits:
- User Engagement: Allows readers to interact with posts, providing feedback to content creators.
- Popularity Tracking: Bloggers can see which posts resonate the most with their audience, potentially guiding future content creation.
- Visual Appeal: Reactions add a dynamic and engaging feature that enhances user experience.
