How lenny-t/reflecta_backend works
Reflecta+ is a Laravel API backend for account access, topic-based posts and feeds, conversations/chat, and personal journaling. The principal evidenced workflow is an authenticated user requesting a post feed: the posts controller delegates retrieval to its repository, which ranks posts using topic preferences and interaction history. Account, journal, and chat/conversation domains are also represented from the repository tree; their detailed wiring was not sampled, so those links are intentionally limited. The README gives little feature detail, and no AI-backed runtime call is evidenced.
