Chitter API Frontend Challenge

[INSERT SCREEN SHOT WHEN AVAILABLE]

What does the code do?

A small Twitter clone that allows users to post messages to a public stream.

The scenario is similar to the Chitter Challenge, except it uses a pre-existing backend API.

Training focus for this challenge

My aim this weekend is to build a front-end single-page-app to interface with an external API. The API documentation is here.

I chose this challenge to get more practice with:

• Javascript SPAs
• External API integration
• User login / authentication

Here's a model of how I planned the entities to interact to load the landing page:
