+# Social Media Smart Contract
+- Note: This project include an [article](https://medium.com/@aycrown77/resolving-a-getcontractfactory-error-in-hardhat-a-step-by-step-guide-d901fc186815) on how I was able to resolve the deployment error I was facing.
+## Overview
+
+This Ethereum smart contract functions as a basic social media platform, allowing users to create posts, like posts created by others, and view their own and other users' posts.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- An Ethereum wallet and access to a blockchain network (i.e Buildbear Etherium testnet) with sufficient ETH for transaction fees.
+- An Ethereum development environment, such as Remix or a development framework like Truffle.
+- Solidity compiler version 0.8.13 or compatible.
+
+## Contract Details
+
+- **Solidity Version**: ^0.8.13
+- **Owner**: The owner of this contract is set at deployment and is the Ethereum address that deploys it. The owner has special privileges, such as changing the maximum post length.
+
+## Features
+
+### 1. Create Post
+
+- **Function**: `createPost(string memory _post)`
+- Allows a user to create a new post.
+- Verifies that the post length does not exceed the maximum allowed length (`MAX_POST_LENGHT`).
+- Emits a `postCreated` event upon successful post creation.
+
+### 2. Like Post
+
+- **Function**: `likeTweet(address author, uint256 id) external`
+- Allows a user to like a post created by another user.
+- Emits a `postLiked` event upon successful liking.
+
+### 3. Unlike Post
+
+- **Function**: `unlikeTweet(address author, uint256 id) external`
+- Allows a user to unlike a post they had previously liked.
+- Emits a `postUnliked` event upon successful unliking.
+
+### 4. Get Post
+
+- **Function**: `getPost(uint _i) public view returns (Post memory)`
+- Retrieves a specific post created by the calling user.
+
+### 5. Get All Posts
+
+- **Function**: `getAllPost(address _owner) public view returns (Post[] memory)`
+- Retrieves all posts created by a specific user.
+
+### 6. Change Post Length
+
+- **Function**: `changePostLength(uint16 newPostLength) public onlyOwner`
+- Allows the owner to change the maximum allowed post length.
+
+## Events
+
+- `postCreated(uint256 id, address author, string content, uint256 timestamp)`
+  - Emitted when a new post is created.
+
+- `postLiked(address liker, address postAuthor, uint256 postId, uint256 newLikeCount)`
+  - Emitted when a post is liked.
+
+- `postUnliked(address unliker, address postAuthor, uint256 postId, uint256 newLikedCount)`
+  - Emitted when a like on a post is removed.
+
+## Usage
+
+1. **Deployment**
+   - Deploy the contract using a compatible Ethereum development environment.
+   - Due to the issues I faced while trying to deploy my smart contract, I wrote an article on how I was able to overcome the challenge
+   - Here is the link to the article: https://medium.com/@aycrown77/resolving-a-getcontractfactory-error-in-hardhat-a-step-by-step-guide-d901fc186815
+
+2. **Creating a Post**
+   - Use the `createPost` function to create a new post.
+
+3. **Liking a Post**
+   - Use the `likeTweet` function, providing the author's address and the post ID.
+
+4. **Unliking a Post**
+   - Use the `unlikeTweet` function, providing the author's address and the post ID.
+
+5. **Viewing Posts**
+   - Use the `getPost` or `getAllPost` functions to view posts.
+
+6. **Changing Post Length (Owner only)**
+   - Use the `changePostLength` function to adjust the maximum post length.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Ensure that the maximum post length (`MAX_POST_LENGHT`) is set to a reasonable value to prevent excessive gas costs for long posts.
+
+## Disclaimer
+
+- This smart contract is provided as-is. The owners and developers are not responsible for any issues, bugs, or misuse that may occur while using this contract.
+
+## License
+
+This smart contract is released under the [MIT License](LICENSE).
