Welcome to the DevFinds' Work-Based Experience Sharing Platform! This platform is designed to facilitate programming students in capturing their work-based experiences and sharing them with other students. Users can share their learning experiences through text, photos, or videos, making it a versatile platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration.
- User Authentication: Users can sign up, log in, and securely authenticate using JWT (JSON Web Tokens).
- Real-time Communication: Integration of Socket.io enables real-time communication between users, fostering instant interaction and collaboration.
- Database Management: MongoDB is used as the database, with the Mongoose library for efficient data modeling and management.
- Cookie Parsing: Cookie parsing is implemented for managing user sessions securely.
- Documentation: The project is thoroughly documented to aid developers in understanding and contributing to the codebase.
- Express.js: Node.js framework for building efficient and scalable web applications.
- Node.js: Server-side JavaScript runtime environment for executing JavaScript code.
- JWT (JSON Web Tokens): Secure method for transmitting information between parties as JSON objects.
- Socket.io: Library for real-time web applications, facilitating bidirectional communication between web clients and servers.
