Problem Description

As a user, I want to create a new post from the dashboard.

Required Changes

• “Create post” input opens a modal with textarea and submit.
• Client-side validation, text required.
• On submit, call API and insert new post at top of feed.

Goal

Allow users to write a post and see it immediately on top of the feed.

Acceptance Criteria

• Clicking input opens modal.
• Submitting empty text shows validation error.
• Valid submit closes modal and adds post to top of feed.
• Errors from API are displayed and modal remains open on failure.

Dependencies

Backend: endpoint to create post, response returns new post.

i would say to just refetch the post on submit instead of inserting at the top. but maybe inserting is the easiest way
