v1.0.0-beta

Overview

This is the first beta release of the new ACM UoBD website, marking our complete refactor from the legacy Django-only site to a modular React + Vite frontend with a Django backend.
It establishes the foundation for future feature development, theming, and integration.

Highlights

• Frontend rebuilt using React + Vite for faster load and modular components
• Backend structured in Django for scalable API endpoints
• Bootstrap + animate.css used for initial styling and animations
• Homepage, Navbar, Footer fully implemented
• Drafted Events, FAQ, and Testimonial sections introduced
• Deployed automatically via Cloudflare Pages (frontend) and Render (backend)

Features

• Added component folders for modular React structure
• Established routing via react-router-dom
• Configured automatic deployments on main branch commits

Known Issues

• Events section still partial (data handling under development)
• Some responsiveness tweaks pending on small viewports
• No unified color/theme system yet (to come with MUI refactor)

Next Steps

• Replace Bootstrap with MUI for better theme scalability → planned v1.1.0-beta
• Finish Events integration with backend API and polish frontend
• Add dark/light themes
• Implement About, Our Team, Projects, Research, and FAQs pages
