Clarifying questions: 1st endpoint

• should the count be returned?

  i.e. to simplify x and count-1 others have liked/commented on this post not an issue since frontend can simply count length of array with O(1)

• suggestions on the structure for each notification

  combining both read: true/false per post. The resulting array would be {..., likes: {read: [...], unread: [...]}} separating per read per type (i.e. [{read: true, likes: [...]}, {read: true, comments: [...], ... }])

Assumptions: 1st endpoint:

• posts that doesnt have a like nor a comment are not included in the notifications feed

  query

Technical debts and nice to have: graphql

• from what I know, the consumer has more flexibility when it comes to retrieving the data that they want without additional complexity in the backend

  Rationale: filtering unwanted fields from the database (e.g. 1.) ONLY _id and name, 2.) ALL except name ) this is called projection in mongodb Middlewares

• Request validation handler
• Standardized response handler for generics like success, bad request, etc.
