This has been a fun mini project. If you'd ask me to make an app six months ago, I would've laughed. This mini project may not seem like much, but to me, this project has been one fo the funnest and most rewarding projects so far, because it has shown me how capable I am and how amazing software development is. I love what I do and can't wait to take this project beyond. I hope to continue to build upon it and hopefully some day it might look even more so like Instagram.
