The mini social network is a web application developed using the MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) stack. The project includes features such as user authentication, publication creation, and a dashboard displaying user publications. The server is implemented using Express.js, connects to a MongoDB database, and provides API endpoints for user and publication-related operations. The front end is built with React, and the application includes functionalities like user registration, login, publication creation, and viewing a feed of publications. The code also demonstrates the use of React Query for managing data fetching and mutations, and it uses Material-UI for styling the user interface.

User Authentication: Users can register with the application, providing necessary details such as username, email, and password. Authentication is implemented using tokens, likely JWT (JSON Web Tokens).

User Dashboard: Authenticated users have access to a dashboard displaying a feed of publications. The dashboard provides a centralized view of shared content, possibly sorted by date.

Publication Creation: Users can create publications by entering text and optionally providing an image URL. The created publications are stored in a MongoDB database.

Publication Feed: The application displays a feed of publications, likely in a timeline format. Publications are sorted by date, showing the most recent content first.

Form Validation: React Hook Form is used for form validation in the user registration and publication creation forms. Validation rules ensure that users provide the required information in the correct format.

Logout Functionality: Authenticated users can log out of the application, removing their session data from local storage.
