Blog & Community

The core feature of the ReghTechLab application is its robust blogging and community engagement system.

Posts

• Rich Content: Posts contain titles, slugs, plain text/markdown content, and excerpts.
• Categorization: Posts can be grouped by categories.
• Read Time Estimation: The app dynamically calculates the estimated read time of a post based on word count (assuming ~200 words per minute).

Engagement (Comments & Likes)

• Comments: Registered users can leave comments on any published post.
• Likes: Users can "like" posts. A strict database unique constraint ensures a user can only like a specific post once.
• Dynamic Counters: Display real-time sums for comments and likes via configured SQLAlchemy relationships and properties (like_count, comment_count).
