✍️ Implement Post Project Feature #7

Enable users (Authors) to create and showcase their projects through posts.
A post can have multiple authors, rich content, and media attachments.
This feature will serve as the foundation for the platform’s showcase experience.

✅ Tasks

• Database Integration

  • Implement Post model with many-to-many relation to User (authors).
  • Ensure support for optional attachments (e.g., image, demo link, repo link).

• UI/UX

  • Create New Post page/form with inputs: Title, Description, Media (optional).
  • Allow selecting multiple authors (searchable dropdown).
  • Add form validation and error handling.
  • Provide feedback (success/error toast).

• Backend / Fullstack Logic

  • Implement server-side actions (using Next.js server actions or API routes if needed).
  • Save post data and relation to authors in the database.
  • Ensure authenticated access (only logged-in users can post).

• Testing & QA

  • Add unit tests for database operations.
  • Add integration tests for post creation flow.
  • Test UI flow (form submission, multiple authors, validation).

🏁 Acceptance Criteria

• Users can create a new Post Project with:

  • Title, Description, and optional attachments.
  • One or multiple authors assigned.

• Only authenticated users can create posts.

• Posts appear in the Feeds after creation.

• UI provides clear validation and feedback.
