SimpleInsta is a photo sharing app similar to Instagram but using Parse as its backend.
Time spent: 16 hours spent in total
The following required functionality is completed:
- User can view the last 20 posts submitted to "Instagram".
- User can pull to refresh the last 20 posts submitted to "Instagram".
- The user should switch between different tabs - viewing all posts (feed view), capture (camera and photo gallery view) and profile tabs (posts made) using fragments and a Bottom Navigation View. (2 points)
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:

Implementing the pull-to-refresh feature was one challenge encountered while building the app to make sure to clear out old items before appending old ones, signaling when the refresh finishes, etc. Thinking through the logic and calling the methods at the right place helped to add this feature to the app.
The following required functionality is completed:
- User can sign up to create a new account using Parse authentication.
- User can log in and log out of his or her account.
- The current signed in user is persisted across app restarts.
- User can take a photo, add a caption, and post it to "Instagram".

Implementing the dependency to use Parse as well as rotating the image taken so that it displays in the correct orientation were challenges encountered while building the app.
