the work
Express + TypeScript + MongoDB. Authenticated CRUD on posts and comments, full-text search, tag filtering, sort and cursor-pagination. Tightly typed end-to-end with Zod validation at the boundary.
highlights
- 01
Cursor pagination instead of offsets, stable under writes
- 02
Zod-validated request bodies, no any anywhere
- 03
Index-aware queries for search + tag filtering
