🚀 Project Description

This Quora Clone demonstrates how to build a simple question-and-answer style platform using Node.js and Express.js for the backend, with EJS templating for the front end. You can create posts, view them in a list, see each post’s details, and interact through basic actions like upvotes/downvotes.

Key Highlights

• Create & View Posts: Users can easily create new posts and view existing ones.
• Responsive UI: Utilizes HTML/CSS (with EJS) to provide a clean, mobile-friendly design.
• Scalable Backend: Currently uses an in-memory array, but can easily integrate with databases like MongoDB.
• RESTful API: Organized routes for CRUD operations.
