+This project is an experiment to learn and grow, to dive-deep into full-stack development and see what I can build. My goal is to create a social media platform inspired by Twitter, but with my own unique touch. It's a learning playground where I'll be experimenting with different features, mimicking and improving functionalities found on Twitter, while also learning and applying new tools and technologies along the way.

Chirp uses [Prisma](https://www.prisma.io/) as an ORM to interact with the database. Before running the development server, make sure to generate the Prisma client by running:
```bash
-yarn prisma generate
+npx prisma generate
```
After generating the Prisma client, make sure to also push any changes to the database schema by running:
```bash
-yarn prisma db push
+npx prisma db push
```
This ensures that the local database is up-to-date with any changes made to the schema in the codebase.
