Devlog #3: Followers & Following

I was pretty busy IRL, but when I got back to the project, I noticed that the followers/following counter wasn’t working properly. Users could even follow themselves, which definitely wasn’t intended.

I wanted to fix it as quickly as possible, so I got straight to work. I replaced the old insert-only followUser action with a new system that correctly tracks and updates both follower and following counts.I also improved the UI by hiding the Follow and Message buttons when users view their own profile, preventing unnecessary actions and making the experience feel more polished.

Overall, this update fixes follower tracking, prevents self-following, and improves profile usability.

Hopefully, I’ll be finishing the project in the next devlog!
