• Users can choose to add or remove social media platforms from their dashboard.
• Users can choose to view analytics for every post, including the number of likes, comments, shares.
• Users can schedule posts for any of their social media platforms at one place.
• This web application can used by multiple users, and each user can view their own social media analytics.
• This web application is mobile responsive.

Project Technologies:

• I was not previously familiar with Django, so I had to learn it from scratch.
• So, things in Django like, Models, Views, Templates, and Authentication were challenging for me, but I was able to learn them.
• The UI of the website also took a lot of time, but I was able to overcome all the difficulties.
