## Overview

#### Purpose and topology
This is a full-stack social/content-feed application: a React single-page client paired with a Node.js server. The client provides authentication, protected areas, feeds, profiles, bookmarks, discovery, post creation, and comments. The backend’s implementation is centralized in `server/server.js`.

#### Client bootstrap and navigation
The browser application starts at `client/src/index.js` and is composed by `client/src/App.js`. Page-level route destinations are separated under `client/src/pages/`, including `client/src/pages/LandingPage.js`, `client/src/pages/AuthPage.js`, and `client/src/pages/DashboardPage.js`. This boundary keeps route experiences distinct from reusable feed and post UI.

#### Authentication and access boundary
Authentication UI is encapsulated in `client/src/components/AuthForm.js`, while `client/src/components/ProtectedRoute.js` gates authenticated navigation. `client/src/pages/AuthPage.js` is the public sign-in/sign-up entry point; protected pages likely include dashboard, profile, bookmarks, and feed views. The server is the trust boundary for authentication and data authorization: `server/server.js`.

#### Content/feed domain
The primary content flow is page → reusable feed → post presentation and interaction. `client/src/components/Feed.js` aggregates post data, `client/src/components/PostCard.js` renders an individual post, and `client/src/components/CommentSection.js` handles post discussion. Related page contexts include `client/src/pages/FeedPage.js`, `client/src/pages/ExplorePage.js`, and `client/src/pages/ProfilePage.js`.

#### Creation, saved content, and dashboard
Post creation is isolated in `client/src/components/CreatePostModal.js`, providing a UI boundary between feed browsing and mutation. User-specific organization is represented by `client/src/pages/BookmarkPage.js` and `client/src/pages/DashboardPage.js`. Navigation/contextual controls are likely centralized in `client/src/components/Sidebar.js`.

#### API and runtime boundary
Client-to-server communication is centralized in `client/src/utils/api.js`; application constants are in `client/src/utils/constants.js`. Development API routing is configured through `client/src/setupProxy.js`, avoiding direct cross-origin browser calls during local development. Material runtimes are the React/npm client (`client/package.json`) and Node.js/npm server (`server/package.json`); environment-backed server configuration is indicated by `server/.env`.

Main entry points: [`client/src/utils/api.js`](https://github.com/mohammedrayhanrceg/talenthub-social-media-platform/blob/main/client/src/utils/api.js) (API client), [`client/src/App.js`](https://github.com/mohammedrayhanrceg/talenthub-social-media-platform/blob/main/client/src/App.js) (App composition), [`client/src/components/ProtectedRoute.js`](https://github.com/mohammedrayhanrceg/talenthub-social-media-platform/blob/main/client/src/components/ProtectedRoute.js) (Protected route), [`server/server.js`](https://github.com/mohammedrayhanrceg/talenthub-social-media-platform/blob/main/server/server.js) (Server application)
