Ask us anything How do I?

Hi! I’m working on a social media app and I’m stuck at this point :slight_smile:

I’m trying to create a list of posts (a feed) and the workflow for creating a post, and I don’t really know how to do it.

You have below an image of the post design, that’s how it should look.

Can you recommend me some tutorials that can help me in this direction? Or do you have some actionable steps that I should follow to create this thing?

I’m also using Xano as a back-end.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Create a container with those elements you have in your screenshot inside.

Create a database table of “posts” with details like user name, post date, post location, post description, etc.

Then bind a collection to the container and map all the above details.

The container will automatically repeat according to the # of posts you have in your Xano database.

I hope this helps!

Thank you so much, of course it helps!
Do you have any idea of how I can make the post creating system? It’s similar to facebook, the users adds the content of their choice like video, image, text, or combined, and then the content is mapped to the container I posted above, adding the post to the feed after it’s creating.
Thanks!

Make an API request to add data to your ‘posts’ table and then fetch the collection if needed.
