This is the nineteenth episode in the reality show about the development SaaS app from scratch. The previous episodes:

Day 15: end-user UI - bug fixes and list of user's posts with paging

Yesterday I moved to creating a page for showing a separate post. By the plan, it had to look something like that:

For now, it's looking like that:
Public post v1

The voting is not working yet (the code is ready but it has bugs). I also fixed some bugs and did some refactoring to avoid unnecessary data loading.

Time spent: 3 hours
Total time spent so far: 47.5 hours

Thanks! Stay tuned!
