The problem
Students lack a purpose-built social platform for academic collaboration. General-purpose social networks mix distraction and noise with what students actually need: course coordination, peer connection, and career resources.
Approach
A full-stack social platform scoped entirely to educational institutions: profiles, academic posts, institutional feeds, and career resources in one focused product. Authentication via JWT, data in MongoDB.
Outcome
A working full-stack social network prototype targeted at educational institutions, with role-based access and a clean, focused feed.
Highlights
- Purpose-built for students and institutions. No algorithmic noise.
- Institutional feeds alongside personal academic profiles.
- Career resources section integrated into the platform.
- Full-stack with JWT auth and MongoDB persistence.
