VisitRwanda

VisitRwanda is web app to write - read articles as well as vote about how Rwanda is 'land of thousand hills' with an impeccably beautiful country; characterised by fascinating savannah, undulating hills and deep valleys, abundant wildlife and natural aesthetics. Simply log in to your account and start exploring. This project consists of a simple session system with login and sign-up functionalities. You'll be redirected to the homepage where all categories will be displayed together with the most recent article written in that category. You can click the category section to browse all articles inside a single category. I also implemented a voting system for the articles where the user can vote just once for each article.

Features

• User can log in only using the username
• User sees the homepage where the first row is the most voted article followed by all categories - listed with the most recent article's image and title
• Only logged in user can submit an article
• When the user clicks on a category inside the homepage, they can see all articles in that category
• Users can vote only once for each article.
