## **Features of the Comment Wall**

The Tapestry Comment Wall enables seamless user engagement with the following functionalities:

- **Follow Profiles** – Users can follow other profiles to keep track of their interactions.
- **Comment on Content** – Users can leave comments on posts or articles.
- **Reply to Comments** – Nested comments allow for structured discussions.
- **Like Comments** – Users can like comments, with displayed like counts.
- **Unlike Option** – If a user has liked a comment, their next action is to unlike.

## **How the Comment System Works**

To better understand the structure, consider the following node-based system:

- **RED NODE** – Represents the content node where discussions take place.
- **BLUE NODE** – Represents individual comment nodes.
- **PURPLE NODE** – Represents user profile nodes, linking users to their activity.

## **How Commenting Works**

Security and efficiency are key when handling user-generated content. Since direct requests from the client browser could expose keys, all Tapestry requests occur through Next.js API routes or the application’s backend, ensuring a secure and streamlined process.
