Project Overview
The project is a fully functional Twitter clone built entirely with HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. It recreates the interactive experience of posting, replying, liking, and retweeting — all within a single-page web app that runs seamlessly in the browser. Designed as both a JavaScript logic challenge and a front-end UI exercise, the project emphasizes clean code architecture, dynamic DOM manipulation, and efficient data management using Local Storage.
Key Elements
Dynamic Tweet Feed
Users can post tweets that instantly render on the page without refresh, simulating a real-time social feed. Each tweet includes icons for liking, retweeting, replying, and deleting.
Nested Replies
Replies are dynamically generated and visually nested under their parent tweets, creating clear conversational threads that mirror social media interfaces.
Like and Retweet Counters
Interactive icons increment and toggle in real-time, visually reflecting user engagement and mimicking live data updates.
Delete Functionality
Users can remove their own tweets, with the UI instantly updating and local data persisting changes through browser storage.
Local Storage Integration
All user-generated data — including tweets, replies, and interactions — is stored persistently using Local Storage, allowing users to return to the page and find their feed intact.
Unique ID System
Each tweet and reply is assigned a UUID, ensuring reliable referencing and manipulation of specific data objects without conflicts.
Technical Implementation
Built using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript (ES6+). Uses modular code structure with event delegation to efficiently handle all click events from a single listener. Employs Local Storage for persistent client-side data management. Dynamically updates the DOM using template literals and array methods like .filter() and .forEach(). Features responsive styling and icon-based feedback for a clean, modern UI.
Purpose and Impact
The Twitter Feed Clone project demonstrates strong front-end development skills by replicating a familiar social media experience without relying on frameworks or external APIs. It showcases proficiency in JavaScript logic, DOM rendering, and state management, while maintaining a clean and responsive UI. This project highlights the ability to design, structure, and maintain interactive applications — skills essential for both front-end and full-stack development.
