Project Description

This project is an Android application that enables users to share and interact with mood updates, as well as follow and engage with other users. The app allows users to view profiles, manage relationships (follow, request follow, unfollow), and listen to audio notes. The main goal is to provide a simple and engaging social platform where users can express their moods and communicate.

Key Features

• User Profiles: Users can view profiles, including username, followers, following stats, and a profile picture.
• Follow/Unfollow: Users can follow, unfollow, or send follow requests to other users. The follow state is dynamically managed based on the relationship between users.
• Mood Sharing: Users can post their moods, with privacy settings to control visibility. They can also view the most recent moods of others.
• Moods Feed: Display the latest mood updates from followed users with an option to view specific user posts.

Backlog
