SnapSync is a photo sharing app using Parse as its backend.
Time spent: 8 hours spent in total
The following required functionality is completed:
- User can sign up to create a new account using Parse authentication
- User can log in and log out of his or her account
- The current signed in user is persisted across app restarts
- User can take a photo, add a caption, and post it to "Instagram"
- User can view the last 20 posts submitted to "Instagram"
The following optional features are implemented:
- Show the username and creation time for each post
- After the user submits a new post, show a progress HUD while the post is being uploaded to Parse.
- User Profiles:
- Allow the logged in user to add a profile photo
- Display the profile photo with each post
- Tapping on a post's username or profile photo goes to that user's profile page
The following additional features are implemented:
- List anything else that you can get done to improve the app functionality!
- Logout button alert
- Load data by default
Please list two areas of the assignment you'd like to discuss further with your peers during the next class (examples include better ways to implement something, how to extend your app in certain ways, etc):
- A nice simple way of adding a profile photo
- Adding a progress HUD would not be difficult for uploading time but a progress bar would be better
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.
I had difficulty getting used to the MangoDB that was used through Heroku.
