One of my first projects in the “real-life work” was to build an application that the user could click on and automatically post on social media.

A brief introduction before diving deep into this project. The company offers social media post services to clients with pre-made images (that can be personalized) and captions. The user needs to manually download the image and the caption and manually post it on the desired social media.

The project’s initial goal is to use social media APIs (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn) to give users the ability to click and post automatically through the app.

In the next post, I’ll go over step-by-step how I use Facebook Graph API (post here) to build this project.

It was my first time coding with TypeScript — a language that I didn’t learn at Flatiron School.
