Chipper Social App Enhancements

Overview

About the project

Delivered four mission-critical enhancements to the Chipper social feed: post creation, following authors, bookmarking content, and time-based polling. Each feature respected existing API conventions, added resilient Pinia stores, and improved retention by surfacing fresh content without reloads.

Challenges & solutions

Challenges

  • 01Legacy views mocked API responses instead of wiring real mutations
  • 02Favorites were not persisted across sessions leading to confused users
  • 03Polling the feed risked duplicate entries and race conditions

Solutions

  • 01Wired PostForm to the REST layer with optimistic updates and validation states
  • 02Centralized favorite users/posts in Pinia with hydration from server payloads
  • 03Added 30-second polling with diffing logic plus a `Load New Posts` CTA to merge updates safely
