Overview

Welcome to our College Social Media Project! This project aims to provide a platform for college students to interact with each other and simultaneously connect with students from other colleges. The project is built using the following technologies:

1. Express Js: A fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js.

2. Mongoose: An elegant MongoDB object modeling tool designed to work in an asynchronous environment.

3. React Js: A JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

4. Socket IO: A library for real-time web applications. It enables real-time, bidirectional, and event-based communication.

5. Cors: Cross-Origin Resource Sharing middleware for Express.

Features

• User Authentication: Users can create accounts, log in, and manage their profiles securely.

• Real-time Chat: A real-time chat feature using Socket IO allows students to communicate instantly.

• • Q n A: Question and answer posts like reddit with having option to like and dislike question or answer.
