Hello everyone!👋 I have been working on my portfolio site and it is now live. It's a blog based site where I will write about my web technologies. It's a full stack project, this is my first full stack project. Please give some feedback on it. To see my website visit:-https://iamismile.herokuapp.com

Now I'm going to talk a little bit about myself and my website here. I'm new in web development. Eight month passed away that I'm learning web development. I have learned modern technologies: React.js, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, Mongoose. So I've decided to build my own project, a big project, where I can learn more, implement my knowledge and face some real world problems. And I decided to build a blog site for myself where I can share my thoughts and which also helps me to find a good job.

✨ Lets talk about my websiteStack,Design,Features andSecurity.

✔ Stack:

The website build with modern technologies. It is an API and Server-Side rendered website. To check my website API visit:https://iamismile.herokuapp.com/api/v1/tidbits

🔹Client-Side(i.e. frontend):- HTML, CSS, JavaScript.

🔹Server-Side(i.e. backend):- Node.js(JavaScript runtime).

🔹Database:- MongoDB(NoSQL).

🔹Image Management:- Cloudinary.

🔹Email Services:- SendGrid(For server-side), EmailJS(For client-side).

🔹Deployment & Hoisting:- GitHub, Heroku.

🔹Web Performance:- Lighthouse Chrome DevTools.

✔ Design:

The website is designed with mobile first design. I try to keep all the pages simple and nice looking.

✔ Features:

• RESTful API design with advance features: filtering, sorting, pagination.
• Used MVC architecture.
• Complete modern authentication: login, password reset.
• Uploading files and Image processing.
• Send email with SendGrid and EmailJS.
• Advance error handling.
• Used Markdown to write blogs.
• Code Style Practices: Used ESLint.
• Testing: For testing I usedPostman(manual testing).

✔ Security:

Security is an important thing for a website. So some security best practices for my website are given below:

• Compromised database: Strong encrypt password & password reset token.
• Brute Force Attacks: Implement rate limiting.
• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Attacks: Sanitize input data.
• Denial of Service (DOS) Attacks: Implement rate limiting.
• NoSQL query injection.
• Use HTTPS.
• Random password reset token with expiry dates.
• Deny access to a authenticated web pages after password reset.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned. Don't forget to give feedback.🙂
