Self Review and Future Improvements

1. Implement different levels of user:
   Open - no log in for viewing projects
   Visitor - log in to comment or like anyone's projects but no editing
   Owner - log in to create, edit, delete, share/download own projects
   

2. Add other reactions - love it, curious, etc

3. Modify 'like' so that visitor can only use one like per project - maybe implement a toggle action.
Don't allow owners to react to own projects

4. Allow own projects to be downloaded as PDFs for sharing with recruiters

5. Amend the comments to be shown only underneath the associated projects
Implement profanity, etc checks if possible

6. Allow viewers to view projects of a particular owner

7. Modify the UI in line with current standards.

8. Make the app mobile friendly
